Sten Ekedahl Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Friend of mine has started building the Airfix 1/48 Gnat. He is very puzzled by one of the parts, no.1, which doesn't appear anywhere in the instructions. I have had a look at it myself, but it still remains a mystery to both of us. Any answer out there?

Des Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Is that not the smoke generator pipes for use on the Red Arrows boxing of the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It is. Redundant for all colour schemes except Red Arrows and Yellowjacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - Sorry if I stole your thunder!!!!!! But initially I thought you were serious and decided to check it out for myself...............I thought, "What a load of twoddle" then realized it was a wind up and as luck would have it - I chose to look at the "original explanation" could not resist posting explanation to such a complicated bit of machinery - possibly what you may have had in mind. Once again, sorry, but wonderful explanation as to what the turbo encabulator really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
