Red Baron Fokker Triplane-Issue 72 Carburettor.

Not a lot to say about this weeks mazak castings,except there is a need to remove the burrs which exist internally within some of the parts.To do this use a Dremel or similar tool with a milling attachment installed,always wear some form of eye protection as the mazak is liable to shatter if any flaws exist.
I am still not convinced that these parts are made from standard Mazak ( called Zamak in the U.S.A ) as diecast models are not quite as brittle as the material used with this particular model,so take great care.
