Pfalz D.XII Late Exhaust
The throat of power

by: Stephen T. Lawson [ JACKFLASH ]

History

Since the invention of the internal combustion engine the need for channeling exhaust was a resultant bi-product. The answer was an exhaust trumpet. It was little more than heavy gauge metal tubing that consisted of 6 - 9 individually formed pieces welded together. They attached to the top of the cylinders using a typical gasket, flange and twin bolt set up. Its purpose was to guide expelled exhaust gasses away from the motor and the open cockpit area of the aircraft.

The Part

Barracuda Studios gives us this simple one part resin upgrade set that replaces the kit exhaust manifolds for the Wing nut Wings 1:32 Pfalz D.XII. Once removed from its casting block, it is a drop fit for the original kit part. It is a quick and easy upgrade that will add more detail to the already beautiful engine in these highly detailed kits.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE
SUMMARY
Highs: High level of exposed details.
Lows: No representation of the gasket, flange and twin bolt attachments. You have to rely on the WNW molded detail.
Verdict: Decent price great details and good quality resin.

About Stephen T. Lawson (JackFlash)
FROM: COLORADO, UNITED STATES

I was building Off topic jet age kits at the age of 7. I remember building my first WWI kit way back in 1964-5 at the age of 8-9. Hundreds of 1/72 scale Revell and Airfix kits later my eyes started to change and I wanted to do more detail. With the advent of DML / Dragon and Eduard I sold off my ...
