Exclamation Air inlets

As stated before, there is a large bifurcated inlet in the nose section of the fuselage.


Here is the inner duct assembly made from the one piece.

There are two separate ducts made up of a single piece. I just could not put it together and the graphics only shows the final result.


I had to add some additional parts to close up the gaps

I also added a dowel to the nose spliter to keep it round and also to support the radar dome.

it is ready for fit, but do not glue it in place yet.

add the cockpit sidewalls. The color of everything in this cockpit is all black. Not sure if it is correct ( certainly unusual for a Soviet jet ), or is lack of information by the designer.

Now glue the inlet assembly. Kind of difficult, but doable.
