Rolls-Royce RB211-524 engines with the reverser open in 1:144 scale make up an add-on set that replaces the nacelles on a model and shows the reverser in action.
Responsibility details are not available.
The add-on is intended to be built into a finished airliner kit; the model itself is not included. The nacelles are rendered with the thrust reverser in the open position, that is, in the state you see on an aircraft only shortly after touchdown. On a display shelf it is a detail that immediately reveals that the modeler did not take the path of least resistance.
The RB211-524 was the more powerful member of the family of three-shaft Rolls-Royce engines. Unlike the RB211-22 version, which stayed tied to a single type, the 524 series served on several wide-body aircraft, among them the Boeing 747 and the stretched version of the Lockheed L-1011. That is exactly why it is good to know which aircraft you are building when choosing the set, because the nacelle and the pylon differ from installation to installation.
Resin nacelles are fairly heavy and the weight hanging on a thin pylon is a worry. Reinforce the joint with a short wire pin, then: drill a hole into the nacelle and into the pylon with a micro drill, glue the wire in and only then join the parts. Super glue holds firmly but does not tolerate leverage, and a pin removes this weakness. Wipe surplus glue off at once, because it turns white once set and that shows on a smooth nacelle. Finally, check that both nacelles sit at the same angle to the fuselage.
