Darren Roberts is a regular on ARC and is producing a range of resin items for the jet modeller.  This is another of his engine exhaust cover sets.  This particular set is designed for the 1/48 F-14A TF-30 Exhaust Covers cover.  Darren also produces a variety of cover for intakes and exhausts for other jets. 

This FOD cover set is designed to be a direct replacement for the Revell or Academy kit parts.  When F-14's shut down...usually one nozzle is open and one is closed...usually right one is open....but there are no hard and fast rules about this.

There is one page of instructions that you can see to the right.  The casting quality is flawless.  This is a very welcome product product that is well done and nicely cast and should be very easy to install.  It is sure to be popular with the F-14A Tomcat builders that want to show their jet parked.

Steel Beach Accessories produces other FOD covers for intake and exhaust for the F-14, F-16 and F-18.

I'd like to thanks Darren Roberts for the review sample.  You can buy this and other Steel Beach Accessories direct from Sprue Bros Models.  Price is $4.99 for this resin item at the time of this review.  The package includes 2 of these resin intake covers....enough for one model.
