Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I always use a pointy knife between the cover and the intake. Works fine for me Welcome and enjoy a long stay!!! Say goodbye to money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connor99 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Dude, don't be afraid to explore yer 1/48. It's a toy, not a model kit (although it kinda looks like one! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Push the cover in at the bottom and it will create a gap at the top you can get your fingernail under to pull the cover off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingNor Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 some emergency! i was thinking "stupid plumbers kid straped m-80 to my valk, he figured it was ok since i'd have to die one day and that meant he could have my stuff." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - I thought it would be more interesting myself being an emergency. Maybe someone has a gun to his head and says "if you don't have those intake covers off by midnight your dead!"

Kin Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I just press my thumb on an intake cover and slide it off. But sometimes I get annoyed the fact that the intakecovers are loose parts so I usually let them stay in fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
