    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Thanks Brian. Interesting...but Mike's Extra didn't have the fairings, so I'm just going for the semi-scale look down there. Although I do have another tidbit already done, which I'll get post soon.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Gotta have a way to check the oil in that big Lycoming :adore:. Yet another opportunity to bugger up that beautiful cowling!!! After marking the location and size of the door I was initially gonna just cut it out and make it openable....but decided that since it still didn't access anything...

    As long as you don't kink the tubing it "should" work. Just keep a fire extinguisher handy :way_to_go:

    IMAC Dalton Extra 260 35%...Back at it!

    Not sure what you're using to shoot the pics, but it'd be great to have larger ones to view!

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Actually I was thinking about doing that way back when. I had first set this up with front dump cans...shown here with the stinger extensions slipped on. I later decided to put pipes in. However, once the pipe extensions are cut back they won't be too noticable from many angles, and a fake...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    A scale carb air inlet and grill: OK, after staring at the new split cowl for awhile I decided I had to cut some more on it! The full scale Extra 330SC inlet looks like this... ....and I found this neat aluminum hexagonal screen material at McMaster-Carr... So....out came the Dremel and...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Splitting the cowl :eek:. I hate single piece cowlings, which is of course exactly what the Krill came with! 2-piece cowls just make life SO MUCH easier to gain access to the engine, etc without having to pull the spinner and prop. PLus....they are SCALE!!! I've never split my own, but...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Pipes: Krill provides some room for installing pipes....but not much! The stock FG interior tray/bulkhead has round openings in the rear so I decided to use this area for the rear support of the KS 1060 pipes. Again, some CF/balsa laminate and silicone rubber bushings did the trick here. BTW...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Yep...that's the plane Bart. I've flown a friends Extreme Flight 104 Extra with splits and used just the outboards for IMAC. Crazy "walking speed" slow flight with flaps....and that was NOT in a harrier! Didn't try crow as he didn't have that set up, but will be playing with that on the Krill.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    DA120: The Krill fuse has some CF reinforcement inside the motor dome area....specifically on the back of the mount and a single strip running down the middle towards the landing gear area. I added a 3/16" ply doubler over the CF motor mounting area and then glassed in some strips of CF cloth...
