1:48 Hurricane Mk. II exhaust fishtail PRINT

Eduard 1:48 Hurricane Mk.II fishtail exhausts (a 3D-printed accessory)

Eduard 1:48 Hurricane Mk.II fishtail exhausts are detailed 3D-printed replacement exhausts of the fishtail type for building a model of the Hawker Hurricane Mk.II in 1:48 scale. This is not an aircraft model or a complete kit; it is a replacement detail part that takes the place of the exhausts from the original plastic kit. The characteristic flared shape of the outlet and the fine hollow ends are something direct 3D printing captures far more faithfully than a solid plastic casting, so the engine area of the model looks markedly more realistic.

Fitting and use

• Once removed, rinse the parts in lukewarm water with detergent and clear off the print residue
• Carefully separate the exhausts from the print supports (the raft) with a sharp knife and sand the contact faces
• Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), which holds printed parts reliably
• Before fitting, check the correct orientation of the left and right rows of exhausts
• The hollow ends come into their own once painted, with the bores picked out in a dark shade

Who it is for

For modelers building the Hurricane Mk.II in 1:48 scale who want realistic fishtail exhausts with hollow ends instead of solid plastic parts. Working with 3D-printed parts and super glue suits more experienced modelers.

Protect your airways when sanding and work in a ventilated room. Handle super glue with care. Keep out of the reach of children.
