Title: Hollow exhausts
Post by: petrov27 on January 29, 2015, 07:03:06 AM

These look like the old Moskit style hollow exhausts - some WW1 subjects in 1/32 and 1/48 - interesting....

I have a set of these for a Hurricane in my stash - they are fantastic - don't even need painting!

Yep, Rexx showed up a little while back to pick up where Moskit left off. Sadly, nothing in the one true scale WWI-wise.  :(

i think its similar to electroplating. somehow the take a plastic exhaust kit part, form it into some sort of cast core and electro plate it. whatever material the base is maust have to dissolve. reason i say this is i saw these before and specifically the 1/48 roland c.ii exhaust is identical to the kit part. so do they cast the part in plaster then do a galvanic deposition onto that then dissolve out the matrix. dont know. but it would be neat to have every exhust done this way.

agreed - it would be cool to see them do some of the German two-seaters with the tall exhausts in 1/32

I see they have a Pfalz DXII early - that looks a lot like a DIIIa exhaust - anyone know if they are the same?

They were supposed to come out last year I think with WWI exhaust but the times I have tried to check I have recieved no info back. They do look nice though.
