Super Bug 1/32 Trumpeter F/A-18 Intakes and Fans
By Dave Flitton
Trumpeter has come out with an awesome 1/32 F/A-18E, except for some glaring detail errors, it can be built into an acceptable kit. One of those details that most of us will “err” will be in the intake trunk. Although Trumpeter provides four pieces to build one intake assembly, those pieces will inevitably be challenging to get rid of the internal seams. Where is Seamless Suckers nowadays?
Super Bug Models is now producing a seamless intake that combines those four piece intakes into one, and then adds a fantastic fan to cap it off. Although you have to get rid of the inevitable plethora of pour stubs you are left with one fantastic piece of resin engineering. The only bit of surgery required to the original model is to cut a secton mentioned in the instructions. Mate this with the other resin products dedicated for this model and you can be sure that your next Super Bug will be the envy of your next model meeting/convention/competition or display case - your choice. I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
Thanks to Super Bug Models and Great Models for the review samples.
