Experimenting with Tamiya's 1/32 F-4E horrible Jet Intakes


Recommended Posts

Gents,

 

   I have been wanting to build a F-4E Kurnass using the 1/32 Tamiya kit and I think I had everything I need to do.  The reason why I keep stalling on the project is the absolutely terrible intakes that Tamiya engineered on this model.

  I bought a set of Rhino Model works seamless intakes but I do not like the way they fit.  I decided that I was going to try to use the kit’s parts and see if I can make it work.

This is the Rhino's resin intake.

The inside has been puttied and sanded as smooth as I can possibly do it.

I will get rid of those huge gaps.

This is how I am planning to install the intakes to the fuselage.

I hope it works.
