Aluminum Thrusters - K Size
So you're probably wondering what the heck a K-Thruster is. Well, taking a cue from my G-Thruster (which was based on the RX-78 Gundam backpack thrusters), the K-Thrusters are based on the many various thrusters located all over the MS-18 Kampfer. Pretty clever, eh? Below you can see the computer images of the thrusters - several sizes which can be used on their own, or in a nested configuration. This gives the modeler many more options - want a custom look, mix and match these bad boys. Want something less expensive - just match a thruster with a baffle, and there you go!

Those computer images are good, but nothing beats the real thing - so here they are! I finally got the package this week, and unwrapped it eagerly to see what it contained - and it had a bunch of aluminum goodness! First and foremost, you'll notice that these guys have little to no oxidation or discoloration, when compared to the first run of G-Thrusters. This machine shop really knows their stuff, and takes pride in their work - they went and remachined half of the thrusters they had made, because they were discolored and didn't meet their expectations! Great customer service - will be using them in the future for more! Along with these new thrusters, I've gotten another order of the G-Thrusters too. The best part of this new machine shop - they were cheaper than the last machine shop, so I'm going to be able to reduce my pricing on the thrusters - pass the savings on to you! Look at me, I'm babbling - check out the pics!
