A-10 Inlet & Engine Fan set (late) for the Monogram kit
NOTE: This set is directly compatible with our A-10 Exhaust set 48708.
There hasn’t been an A-10 kit yet, that has come stock with accurate inlets, engine fans, or Exhaust. SHM’s Engine Fan/Inlet set corrects the kit’s TF-34 Engine Fan and Inlet. The kit fans are too shallow, inaccurate center cone/Fan Blade pitch, and the wrong blade count. The inlet lip profile is also quite wrong.
This is our 3rd Generation A-10 Engine Fan & Inlet set for the Monogram A-10, yet another improvement from our previous resin cast set. Our new A-10 Inlet set features High Resolution printed Engine Fan and Stator frame. The Engine fan blade detail has been enhanced with open fan blades. The inlets are seamless with embedded blade track, corrected lip contour, and are the only resin cast parts in this set. All parts are designed from the actual TF-34 and aircraft inlet, which makes for the most accurate A-10 set on the market.
We’re also one of the only AM companies to offer the option for both the early and late Engine fans. The S-3 Viking and A-10A were configured with the early Engine fan. It’s the center cone that’s different: Early has cylindrical bolt holes while the Late fan cone has the small triangular notches. See reference photos:
The A-10 late fan was the standard since the 80s; up until the S-3 Viking was retired in 2015. Their TF-34 engines were refurbished and/or parted back into the supply system. This is why the early fans are more common on the A-10C and it’s typical to see aircraft configured with both engine fan types.
