Darren Roberts is a regular on ARC and is producing a range of resin itemsfor the jet modeller.  This much welcome resin item will permit you to park your F-16 with FOD covers on the exhaust.  Darren also produces intake covers for the F-16. 

This FOD cover is designed to be a direct replacement for the Hasegawa kit parts L1, L2, L3 and H5.  If you look carefully you'll notice a wavy pattern/panelline.....this will have to be position on the bottom.  This is  a strapless cover and if you want your cover to have straps to hold it on....then you can replicate these straps with stretch sprue, fine wire or very thin thread.

There is one page of instructions that you can see to the right.  The casting quality is pretty good with a few tiny swallow micro bubbles that should disappear under a coat or two of paint.  All in all this is a very neat product that is well done and nicely cast with well done panel lines etc that directly match the kit parts.  It is sure to be popular with the F-16 builders. Steel Beach Accessories produces other FOD covers for intake and exhaust for the F-14, F-16 and F-18.
