About product

An intake installation in 1:18 scale from Hobby Design

A resin intake for car models in the larger collector's scale of 1:18. The product is not a kit of a car; it is an accessory on its own, built in beside the engine or into the space behind the grille. The 1:18 scale is noticeably more generous than the more common 1:24, so even a fine surface texture shows on the part.

The role of an intake in a build

The path of the air to the engine tends to be skimped on production scale models with a simplified shape, even though on the real car it is a striking and interesting piece of shaping. A sports filter, an intake trumpet and the ducting that follows together fill the free space under the hood and give it depth. On 1:18 models that holds twice over, because an empty engine bay there is visible at first glance.

How to work with the part

Wipe the surface of the casting with alcohol; that removes deposits from manufacture and the paint takes hold better. Cyanoacrylate glue in a gel consistency gives more time to true up the position than the liquid version. The filter element looks good in matte black or in a saturated color to suit the style of the car, while a light silvery pass sets the metal clamps apart. Before fitting it, check that the shape follows on from the surrounding parts without strain.

Who the accessory is for

  • Collectors of 1:18 models with an opening hood
  • Modelers who finish the engine bay of larger scale models
  • Anyone interested in modified and tuning subjects
  • Builders who put a powerplant together from several separate parts

FAQ

The manufacturer does not give a particular type in the name; it is a generally usable part. So always compare the fit against the space on your own model.

It is the usual size for collectible metal cars. Accessories for them tend to be larger and take a finer surface texture.

The casting is supplied raw, so expect to apply the paint yourself. Without a finish the material would look unnatural.
