F4u Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hi guys, I'm after some engine filters for a 1/48 Chinook and I know Shapeways do a set but is there anyone else that produces them ? Many Thanks Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Aviation workshop were working in some and produced a few sets before they stopped producing stuff, but I don't know if the newer guise Air-Graphic (I think that it is what it is called) will be as they seem to be concentrating on 1/72nd stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks Jabba Air-Graphic are indeed 1/72 looking likely that Shapeways is the only ones available from what I can find, am I right in saying Cobra Co is the place for the mini guns ?

Jabba Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Sorry to say that Cobra Co is no more. I have seen some by LiveResin, but I am not sure if it is in 1/35th or 1/48th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wafu Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hello Guy, I've just finished a Hc3 for a guy at work, he was a Patamedic on the MERT crew in Afgan. i used the Italeri kit with the Italeri detail set, a must for the later RAF Chinooks, I also used the Eduard internal and external sets, some of these are duplicated on the Italeri detail set. The engine filters were from Model Alliance, I understand that the Shapeways ones are a good representation of the filters but have raised nodules for the mesh intakes, I have a set of their filters in 1/35, not the best I have to say, it depends on your scratch building skills. You could just message Gary and see if he's planning to release his old Filters in 1/48th, I see on eBay he sells the 1/72 sets again. Here is his 1/72 set http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=172721004882&globalID=EBAY-GB Live resin do two sets of 1/48 mini guns for the MH-60 Nighthawk, these are amazing sets and can be adapted to the Chinook. The guy I get all my Live resin stuff from is Model Display Products https://www.modeldisplayproducts.co.uk/live-resin/live-resin-148th-accessories- I can't recommend this guy enough, fast, efficient service, he's usually at the nationals as well. Ive got some photos of my wokka if you'd like to see them, can'tt be bothered with the whole photo fiasco so please PM me your email and I'll send them on. Cheers the Woo.

Many thanks Woo love to see some photos and thanks for the links will check them out pm inbound. I have the Italeri detail set but was wondering about the Eduard set or the CMK set so will invest in the Eduard for sure.
