If you've been keeping up with recent events, you've seen
the nice array of AMS Resin detailed resin cockpits for the
Revell/Monogram, Kinetic, and FM/Heller F-84F kits as well
as for the FM/Heller RF-84F kits. Well AMS Resin didn't stop
there. They've been working on a variety of new subjects, and
this set takes care of another pet peeve out there in the modeling
world.
The Tamiya 1/32 scale F-4 Phantom II kits are still the
best Phantoms in any scale for overall quality and detail.
Nevertheless, one of the weaknesses of the Tamiya Phantoms
is looking down the intakes. There are aftermarket options
to fix this which include seamless ducts that curve realistically
to the front of the engines, but some modelers don't want to
go to all of the time and trouble of modifying the kit. There
is another solution!
AMS Resin has created crisply detailed resin FOD covers for
your intakes. No need for surgery or mods to the kit, just
insert these into the intakes just like the real covers, and
you're finished. Oh yes, you might want to paint them first...
These intakes are good for all of the Tamiya Phantoms and
are not designed for the Revell kits. This is a simple conversion
to help cover up those empty intake ducts.
Recommended for experienced modelers!
You can order this set and/or any of the cockpits in the series
directly from AMS
