JohnB Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I had begun work on this kit a few months ago and lost my "want to" and put it away for "later". Well, now is later, at least for the foreseeable future. Here's a pic to show it's current state. We'll see how it goes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the very fiddly PE parts for the intake dividers. I may substitute some plastic strips cut to size as I think that would be much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2018 Good to see this back on the bench. John. It’s one of those “do it once” builds, and you’re gonna knock this one clean out of the park, man! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Agreed! As a example, here's a shot of the intakes and louvers. The kit PE pieces are VERY fiddly (a good example of the cuss-factor). I decided to use little strips of sheet plastic instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I find this creates a problem fitting the "lips" (E8 & E9) to the intakes. Re-thinking this now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 I find the solution to be: attach the "lips" then insert the vanes one at a time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
