DDELK Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I purchased some of these covers for s Revell A-10 and by no means do they fit. I'm sure they were designed to be trimmed up but I want the to fit as engine plug covers. Also the reR covers look as of they have to be carved in order to fit. Was hoping not to have to do this much work to get them to fit on but I guess it can't all be easy!! Has anyone used these before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthldr Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Aren't the Steel Beach covers exactly that , and not plugs? I've used several of Darren's sets and never had a problem with any of them, just a little clean up of edges and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDELK Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Well maybe they are designed as covers, but still they don't lay smooth like they should in real life. And the rear covers should be concaved on the backside in order to fit over the engine exhaust., they look really nice, I guess maybe I was expecting something a little different.. I still think I'm going to try and cut them down to fit as engine plugs, as it looks much nicer dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthldr Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Don't take what I'm about to write as gospel as I don't have either the kit or cover in front of me. However looking at the Revell instructions on the internet, it looks like you have to remove the front portion of the intake at the first panel line where it starts to curve towards the intake face, then leave off the fan faces and the covers should then fit flush, for the exhaust leave parts 11 and 81 off and again the cover should fit flush.

DDELK Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 well the problem I have then is that I ordered the covers after the engines were built. I had not originally intended to put covers on. Do now it looks like some creative modifications of the resin are going to have yo happen.. This really sucks!! Oh well.. thanks dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Steel Beach seem to do their normal covers,and a set of resin ones which seem to be plugs. TBH the rear of the resin ones dont really look like covers I have seen fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
