About product

An intercooler in 1:24 scale from Hobby Design

An accessory for building forced-induction cars in the kit scale of 1:24. The set combines a casting with photo-etched metal, thanks to which the fine fin structure that injection-molded plastic cannot carry can be reproduced on the cooling core. Neither the car nor its body is included; this is a building element in its own right.

Where the intercooler sits

On forced-induction cars the air passes after compression through a cooler that gives it back its density. It tends to be hung at the front ahead of the water radiator, or placed above the engine depending on the layout of the drive. On a model it therefore ends up directly in the cutout of the bumper or in the opening in the hood and is visible from outside, without anything having to be opened.

Procedure and finish

A short bath in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent does the casting good, after which the paint takes hold far better. Glue the photo-etched fins with thin cyanoacrylate glue and wipe the excess off at once, because a dried drop between the fins shows. Apply the aluminum tone thinly so that the structure does not clog up; a dark shade run in between the fins will then create depth. Set the hose stubs apart with a colored silicone shade of the kind that commonly appears on modified cars.

Who the intercooler suits

  • Builders of forced-induction cars in 1:24 scale
  • Modelers of modified and competition subjects
  • Anyone interested in a visible element at the front of a car
  • Builders who put a drivetrain together from several accessories

FAQ

It cools the compressed air heading for the engine. A cooler charge has a higher density, and so the engine works better.

The name does not mention them, so do not reckon on them. The pipework can be made up from thin rod or from tubing.

If you spray thinly and from a greater distance, the structure stays readable. A heavy coat blinds fine ribbing.
