Armycast 1:48 CH-46 Sea Knight – seamless air intakes with FOD guards is a resin accessory set for a model of the helicopter. It is not a helicopter kit but a replacement for the plastic parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin accessory set for a model of the CH-46 Sea Knight transport helicopter in 1:48 scale. It contains the engine air intakes cast in one piece, that is, with no parting seam down the middle, rounded out with guards against foreign objects being drawn in, which in aviation practice are referred to by the abbreviation FOD. The set is intended as a replacement for the plastic parts of the basic kit; it does not contain the helicopter model itself.
In injection-molded kits the air intakes tend to be split into two halves, and a distinct parting groove appears in the throat that can only be sanded away with great difficulty, because a tool cannot get inside. A resin casting removes that problem, because the throat is smooth straight out of the mold. The guards then cover the intake and replace the indistinct relief on the plastic with a legible structure that shows clearly on a finished model.
First wash the resin parts in lukewarm soapy water, so that the mold release residue comes off; otherwise neither paint nor glue will hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw, do not snap them; sand wet and with your airways protected, because resin dust is fine. They are glued only with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy; ordinary cement for plastic will not bond resin. Check the fit dry before gluing and fill any gaps with putty. Paint the inside of the throat before you fit the part to the fuselage; you will have better access to it.
This is an accessory for modelers, not a kit in its own right. The basic model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
