Default RE: Parachute release system?

Tnx guys, this nozzle isn't as complicated as it looks and can be bought from Philip Avonds (www.avonds.com)
You make use of the original kit supplied fiberglass tailcone which has the turkey feathers nicelly moulded in. The gaps need to be cut away and special moulded sections can be glued inside. There are five sections, each have three artificial bafels. Gluing it all togehter is a bit of fiddly job and takes patiance.....as most scale items do...
However most important in my opinion is to copy the colors as good as possible, this makes the difference.....I use humbrol laquers mixed to the correct colors.
See pictures: http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/phpBB2/...=379154#379154 (Dutch forum, strange language....., pictures tell the job)
