EC 145 Rear Air Intakes

These are Air Intakes for the Vario EC 145. This detail part can be made to be functional! They are placed on the surface of the back set of engine cowlings.

Each EC 145 Air Intake set includes 6 intakes in three different shapes.

The Air Intakes are made from Carbon Fiber and resin. They will need to be cut from the flashing and trimmed to fit your model.

The whole set will require washing and a very light sanding to allow for good paint adheshion. The Air Intakes can be applied to the fuselage with CA, epoxy, or JB Weld after the surface of both the model and the bottom of the part have been sanded.

To make these parts functional on your model an opening needs to be cut in the fuselage.
