You can see in the photo how the resin intake literally does drop into the
Hasegawa fuselage.
- The resin intake ducts are pre-molded to resin intakes that perfectly replace the kit parts.
- Replacement splitter plates are included.
- The inside of the intake and duct are molded in white, making painting optional (or at least easier).
- The twin J79 engine faces are cast as one part to be installed like a fuselage bulkhead. This makes installation
and alignment of the ducts much simpler!
- These sets are readily available from Meteor
Productions.
These will be very welcome additions for quarter-scale Phantom Phreaks
everywhere. When you see one of these sets installed in the beautiful
Hasegawa F-4, the illusion of reality is nicely achieved. If you see
one of these parked next to a ‘stock’ F-4 kit on a contest
table, the difference will be striking. Recommended!
This is a nicely done enhancement for the Hasegawa kit!
My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions
for this review sample!
