Need Starboard Engine Nozzle for Interceptor

hdknight · 19-02-2009, 02:37 AM

My Interceptor Product Enterprises (I believe) version is missing the Starboard Engine Nozzle. Anyone know of a kit bash piece, or way to replace it?

Kit bashing is probably the easiest way. Welcome to the forum BTW

Ok I can see that better now on my home computer. Questions. Did it come like that... if so take/send it back to the seller/shop and get them to replace it. If it was fine when you got it, you'll have to scratch build or caste one up by taking a mold of the other one. You could caste a the bell then hollow out the rear. The fun thing is getting the lip so casting would sort that out.

I'm pretty sure that the pieces used in the interceptor master prototype for the side boosters were... lead pellets from an air gun. If you're familiar with the thing, you probably remember that there are two types of pellets: The "ball" type ones, and the "cup" ones. These last ones are probably the source for the booster bells.

I'm not sure thou if these type of pellets are still available...

Neat idea, I do have .177" lead pellets and if one were to ground off the head, I can see how they would look pretty close. Probably remove the port side to match. thanks for the idea
