Two Mikes Resins has released a number of resin detail upgrades for the new tool 1/32 Revell Germany Eurofighter Typhoon kit.  One of the first items is a resin APU exhaust outlet to replace the simple shallow depression molded into the left wing root.  Installation is simple, just drill out the depression molded on the kit part and insert the resin part from underneath.  The block that the exhaust is molded onto is contoured to exactly fit the inside of the fuselage at the proper location.

As mentioned in the instructions, take your time in drilling out the kit's depression and test fit often.  Although the inboard edge and sides of the depression are clearly defined, there is no guide for the outboard edge of the opening, so it's easy to go a little overboard on this dimension (like I did!).  Even so, it's a great improvement over what the kit offers.

This resin set is available through http://www.twomikesresin.com/.
