It's amazing to me how many of the kits that were not around at all are actually being produced now. One of the companies coming out with a great selection of kits is Kinetic and their S2F Tracker is a lovely kit with options for wing folds and nicely engraved panel lines. One small deficiency of the kit is that it ignored the engine exhausts which are above and below the wings on the nacelles. For a lot of modelers, this is no big deal and the kit still is wonderful. View the images in the slideshow which clearly illustrate the location of the exhausts, with arrows indicating where they should go.

Installation is easy. I used a small drill bit to open the holes and then refined them with files and a knife. Once the holes have been opened and cleaned up, the exhausts were added. Total time, to open the holes and satisfactorily test fit the exhausts was about 15 minutes. This is a great addition to a great kit and would be a great start to weathering the Tracker.

This item is recommended. Thanks to Aires and Quickboost for providing the review sample and to IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review it.
