Hi everyone, I am about to start the kitty hawk su-30sm which came with these resin exhausts. I need advice on how to remove the flash without damaging the part as I have no idea how to. Thanks

Harrier Upgrades/Pods (for Eduard/Hasegawa) 1:48 Eduard Brassin Designed and released to coincide with their limited edition boxing of Hasegawa's 1:48 Harrier GR.7/9 kit, these four sets have been produced to improve further over the already augmented detail of the boxing. If detail is your thing, then these sets might just hit the spot. Upgrade Set (49784) As usual with Eduard's Photo-Etch (PE) sets, this arrives in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between. It consists of one large sheet of brass, plus a small slip of clear acetate with parts pre-printed on the surface. The set includes skins for the cockpit tub; splitter plates and details for the kit exhaust nozzles; a highly detailed rendition of the protective plates behind the "hot" nozzles; upgrade parts for the landing gear; a more detailed brake surface for under the belly; pylon details; missile exhausts; HUD parts with film for the glass, and a full set of slime-lights with matching decals (not pictured). The Brassin sets arrive in the familiar Brassin clamshell box, with the resin parts safely cocooned on dark grey foam inserts, and the instructions sandwiched between the two halves, doubling as the header card with decals if appropriate. Exhaust Nozzles (648267) Four resin nozzles are included in the box, which are direct replacements for the two part kit nozzles, so not only do you avoid having to fill the seams, but you also get a much better level of detail into the bargain. Sniper ATP for Harrier GR.7/9 (648273) Harrier used this target designation pod extensively, and this set contains all the necessary parts with the adapter rail that is required for attachment to the Harrier. The main body is cut from its pouring plug and the join is covered by a PE part, with an optional "black box" on the aft end, while the movable seeker head and PE lens is fitted into the recess in the front. Then the glazing parts in clear resin are prepared by adding a bevel to their edges as shown in the accompanying diagram, before gluing to the lip around the edges of the window. The adapter rail, sway-braces and pylon are fixed to the top of the pod body, with some small PE parts providing extra detail. If you wanted to pose the pod in its deployed mode, simply turn the seeker head windows to the downward position using your references. TERMA Pod (648266) The TERMA defence pod isn't exclusively used by the Harrier, so it has uses with other aircraft, but it is carried by it, so it has been included here. Inside the box are two resin parts and a small fret of pre-painted PE. The pod is liberated from its casting blocks, then glued together to form the pod body. The PE parts are then affixed to the exterior, which is best done after main painting is completed due to them being pre-printed. Review sample courtesy of
