Here's a review of a new release from Two Mikes Resin Accessories.  This resin set features 1/48 SAAB Viggen Corrected Intakes for the 1/48 ESCI and Airfix Viggen kits.

The original intakes on the ESCI and Airfix Viggen kits are longer than they should be and they have an incorrect profile.  These intakes have been shortened and include the correct boundary layer notches on the bottom inside lips as well as the correct vortex generators between the splitter plates and the fuselage.  Also included are moulded in "slime" lights to update the intakes to their final standard.  Please refer to the photos on the instruction sheet and in your own reference library for added reference.

 

The instruction sheet is clear and includes 4 pictures of the full sized aircraft to help you get things right on this set.  The resin casting is flawless and bubble free.

Mike of TwoMikes has a passion for the Viggen and it's good to see these corrected intakes and other Viggen items being released by TwoMikes.  

This resin set is available through http://www.twomikesresin.com/.
