1:125 Engines IAE V2500-A5 for Airbus A320 Heller kit

The real subject

The Airbus A320 family was offered with two different powerplants from the start and the customer chose. One of them is the V2500 turbofan, which was created by a consortium of several makers under the banner of International Aero Engines, hence the abbreviation IAE in the designation. The A5 form belongs precisely to the machines of the A320 family. The engine is told from the other option at a distance by its rounder intake and the differently divided nacelle, so the choice of engine is not a small thing on a model but something that decides the fidelity of a particular subject.

What the set offers

The set brings the V2500-A5 engines in 1:125 scale as a replacement for the nacelles from the kit. According to the name, it counts on the Heller kit, which offers the A320 model in exactly this unusual scale. The extent of the parts and the procedure for seating them on the pylons are given in the instructions from the manufacturer.

Building and painting tips

Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade a little away from the part and carefully sand the rest back, so that the intake ring of the nacelle stays evenly round. The parts are not polystyrene, so ordinary cement for plastic will not join them; cyanoacrylate glue holds reliably. Paint the nacelles separately, before you seat them on the pylons, and get a gloss base ready before the decals come up. Wash and degrease the parts before painting.

Who it is for

For modelers of airliners who are building a particular A320 machine and want engines under the wing that match their subject. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
