Cutting Edge has embarked into the realm of seamless
aftermarket intake parts and if this set is any
indication, will be giving Seamless Suckers a real run
for their money.
This simple set consists of a replacement for the
front portion of the intake, ducting leading to the
engine and a representation of the front face of the
engine with fan blade detail. The ducting and intake
front are molded in white to simplify painting and there
is little flash and no pinholes are visible in the
parts. The front landing gear bay is integral with the
new intake front so construction is made even easier.
My only minor gripe is that no instructions were
included in the review sample. I am confident that these
parts are a drop fit replacement for the kit parts
comprising the front portion of the intake but it would
be nice to have that confirmed.
Jet intakes are always a challenge to model and F-16
intakes are notoriously tricky. This set is a welcome
addition for those who would rather not model their
Falcon with a FOD cover.
Recommended.
Thanks to Meteor Productions for the
review samples.
