Skii Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Right you bright and resourceful lot I have a problem with my B-2 Spirit build which has ground progress to a halt, whilst the air intakes are heavily shrouded, you can still easily see deep inside - where I need to show the turbine fans to 4 x F118 GE 100 engines. Does anyone know any manufacturers of photo-etched / resin engine/turbine fans ? its pretty deep and dark down there so it doesn't have to be a perfect match , and each engine is barely a centimetre in diameter any ideas ? I'm stumped.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitnut617 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) I've used Bra.Z replacement engines a couple of times on different projects, check to see what's here, it's mostly 1/144. http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php...%5B%5D=code+asc Edited September 23, 2008 by kitnut617 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Here's the Braz sites resin section so you can see the fans on some of the engines. The 747 engines look like they have too many small blades but the RB211's for the 757 look like they have more modern, wider chord blades. http://www.brazmodels.com/Full%20kit%20list.htm HTH Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Contact Pierre (aka Madman) If memory serves correct he knocked up some etched fan blades for his A380 a while back, and he may be either able to make you a set, or give you the know how! Now off to have a look at your build so far - haven't seen it yet!! Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
