For those of you who have Dragon's F-16s, is the front compressor of the engine modeled into the air intake (see attached picture of actual intake)? If no front engine detail is provided in the intake, how deep is the intake? Any front view pics of your model/s would be great!

Elmer, you can' t see any engine compressor detail as there is none provided...The intake blanks off approx. 1 inch back.

Too bad Thanks Skunky, that's what I wanted to know.

Anal? I can't explain it. When I see jets in museums, I want to climb into the intakes and exhausts to see what is there. It is fascinating to me to see as much of the engine as I can. Likewise, when I inspect a model, I imagine myself climbing into the thing.

Am I alone?

Incredible!! OK, I no longer want to crawl inside the intake!

And no, I am not a proctologist, but I have been given a clean bill of health by mine. (He said I am not AR; although every time my kids get near my models by wife says I am).
