An accessory part in 1:48 scale for models of the A-10A and A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft: the intake of the ECU unit with protection against the entry of foreign objects. It carries the code QB49153.
Responsibility details are not available.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American attack aircraft intended for the support of ground forces. It flies slowly, low and lasts long over the battlefield, so it is built ruggedly and full of small openings, grilles and covers which will not be lost on a model. The abbreviation ECU denotes the unit which looks after the air conditioning and pressurization of the cockpit, and its intake is among those small things which a person notices on the real machine sooner than on a model.
The accessory brings this intake in 1:48 scale in a rendition for the A-10A and A-10C versions. The abbreviation FOD in the name refers to the element which protects the intake against the entry of foreign objects; it is precisely that which gives the opening on a model the depth that a solid part from a kit cannot have. The number of parts and their exact rendition are given in the instructions enclosed by the manufacturer.
First measure the original part on the kit carefully and only then start cutting, so that you do not needlessly damage the surrounding surface. Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder. The parts are not of polystyrene, so glue them with super glue and wash and degrease them in advance. Paint the inside of the opening before you seat it on the fuselage; after that you will no longer get inside with a brush. Emphasize the shadow inside the intake with a darker shade, as otherwise it comes across as flat.
The accessory will be appreciated by modelers who finish off precisely such small things on the A-10. The package contains only this part; a kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
