I also need the rest of the engine, so this was a bonus. They're all pretty rough looking and will need some further paint stripping. And I hope it won't be too tricky to de-bond the engine halves (although we are forecasting some pretty aggressive chopping anyway!).
So I'm not totally out of the market for short turkey feathers (just in case this arrives and is not as recoverable as I had hoped!). If they ARE good enough to use, then I'll make castings available for anyone who needs/wants them.
i have looked over the red2 photos for a couple hours now, and for the most part i think they have flaps with straight edges more like the longer kit part cut short, and the shorter kit part has curved sides on the flaps which doesnt match the ss model - that being said i am not completely convinced yet
do you think the shorter engines are available in the white box version of the F4J? (i dont understand what worthpoint is or how that is useful lol)
