The 180/200hp D.IIIaü was introduced in late 1917. Barracuda Studios simple two part resin upgrade set replaces the kit intake manifolds for many 1:32.

Thanks!

It looks a lovely drop-in upgrade, saves those that are going to insulate the manifold lots of work. Only one tiny downer for me is that they didnt bother with the six C-nuts that connect manifold to the barrels as they made a point of reworking the manifold to carb ones so nicely. I now these were missed by WNW and Roden and all probably due to casting constraints and most builders miss them too. It just would have been the icing on the cake to have them represented.

Even so this seems a worthy addition to any build needing it.

Oh and nice review too.

Our good man Keith is talking about the notched screw conectors (hence the "C" nut reference) that surround the mouths of the 6 intake pipes that enter the top of the cylinders. These can be seen plainly in bare metal in the last image I use in the review. (Mr. Dave Watts early model Mercedes D.IIIaü). These are items that I too would like to see replicated separately.

Here is a bit more from Barracuda Studios.
