MAKING EXHAUST PIPES

Album image #1
These are the kit exhaust pipes. Really poor job from KP.  
 

Album image #2
Take some .040" (1mm) styrene rod and drill a .025" (.6mm) hole in the end. 
 

Album image #3
Put some flat black in the hole. 
 

Album image #4
Paint the pipe steel colour or whatever you normally do. 
 

Album image #5
The kit part would normally glue on here. Ugh! 
 

Album image #6
Drill a hole to fit the pipe on an angle as shown. 
 

Album image #7
Cut the rod to the correct length and glue it in. 
 

Album image #8
Much better looking than the kit parts.
