Those Intakes
Cutting Edge has been really stepped up their line of seamless
intakes and this release is one of their latest masterpieces.
Designed
for almost any of the Academy 1/48 F-111 kits, specifically the
F-111E, F-111F, or FB-111A kits. This set would also be appropriate
if you're backdating the F-111E into the F-111D or updating the
FB-111A into the F-111G. If you are building the Academy 1/48 F-111A,
F-111C, or EF-111A, you'll need the Triple Plow I intake set from
Cutting Edge (CEC48514). This set was not designed for the Monogram
F-111 kits, if you want to try them in those kits, you're on your
own...
The engine faces and intake bullets are molded in gray
resin while the ducts are molded in white to save you a step
or two as you'd otherwise have to paint the duct yourself. See
how nice it is to see that seamless ducting and the compressor
face at the end?
Conclusions
This is a nice enhancement to any of the Academy 1/48 F-111
kits listed above and will ease your workload if you've been dreading
the prospect of filling and painting inside those intake trunks.
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Meteor
Productions for this review sample!
