Thanks.
I'm also interested in detailing the exhaust area. The italeri kit depicts some strips around the exhaust tiling. In the real aircraft, are these strips sheet metal? I've seen a walkaround
of a museum plane, where it appears to be some kind of rubber strips, but was it really like that on the real aircraft while in flight?
One more question.. are these exhaust tiles rectangular or square? I'm rescribing them, and the kit has rectangular tiles, while the photos I've seen have square tiles with an occassional diagonal cut in some tiles.
Does anyone know what color the insides of the intakes are for the YF-23? The italeri instructions indicate black, but most aircraft I've done have white intakes. I haven't seen any photos of the real aircraft's intake area yet.
I just saw this photo of the Italeri YF-23, and was wondering about the accuracy of the rear exhaust area.
Right behind the exhaust insulating tiles, there are V-shaped non-tiled areas. Is the real aircraft like this, or is it tiled all the way to the trailing edge?
In addition, are the out of the box antenna placements correct? I haven't seen any antennas on photos of the real thing.
