B-57B Intakes

By Boyd Waechter

Date of Review July 2007
Manufacturer Lonestar Models
Subject B-57B Intakes
Scale 1/48
Kit Number -
Media Resin
Pros Nice upgrade to the Classic Airframes kit
Cons  
Skill Level Intermediate
MSRP (USD) $12.00 + $4 P&H

Although a great kit, the Classic Airframes B-57B Canberra engine fronts lack some prominent structural supports that were mounted just ahead of the fan blades and shock cone. 

After doing abit of minor surgery, Lone Star Models has produced a replacement set of air intakes that slip into the leading edge of the wing which correct this problem.  These are very well done and very much improve the look of this area of the model. 

The two intakes can be ordered directly from Mike West of Lone Star Models at lsmodels@pdq.net, $12 per set.  Also, check-out Mike’s web page for all of LSM products at www.lonestarmodels.com.
