Pieces

Sold in 4 pieces forming a single block of 1 motor.

Does not include the model of the plane.

Assembly

It requires the gluing of these parts and their assembly to the aircraft. The basrelief "NO PUSH" is optional. Its function is to allow the painting of these letters and their background box.
 

Scratch

This piece does not require scratch work. The rivets stand out more than necessary and reliefs have been placed in the changes of inclination of the end of the afterburner, to facilitate the painting with different tones by zones. If they are not desired, simply sand them lightly.
