Kagemusha Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 After seeing this build http://www.militarymodelling.com/forums/postings.asp?th=114101&p=3 I've amended the review regards the cockpit interior. Maybe Harold could be persuaded to produce a cockpit set; seats with belts, and electrical equipment..? Perhaps spinners - one of the AOA decal options require them, as will the Caracal set if they include a Portuguese aircraft.

Perhaps spinners - one of the AOA decal options require them, as will the Caracal set if they include a Portuguese aircraft. Id be all OVER a set of X2 spinners for the O-2, as the option I want is an O-2B that will not really require any big mods to the interior, but will require modification to the rear exterior of the aircraft for the speaker setup, as well as a set of spinners front and rear, which as Andy points out, the kit does not come with. Harold, up for a set of X2 O-2 Spinners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Well, now listed on Hannants for Future Release is Cessna Type 337 Lynx Rhodesian War Cessna O-2A Skymaster US Navy Service Quick google, and the Rhodesian option should come with spinners... ziggyfoos, LSP_Kevin and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Boillot Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Great news on the RhAF Lynx version. Another promised after market addition, a nose ballast kit https://hlj.com/product/SAC32128 For once, SAC's copycat policy has been done smartly enough that buying this set might prove useful ...

Out2gtcha Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 For once, SAC's copycat policy has been done smartly enough that buying this set might prove useful ... Hubert Agreed Hubert. However, Id still not be 100% confident about that MLG not bending. The nose gear and engine weight are a great addition, although I still might be inclined to think that Erics fix for the OOB landing gear still may be a better fix for the MLG bending issue. I think your right though, for roughly $20 USD, I think it might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I was NOT thinking of using the LG, but just the engine and bulkhead, Brian ... Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Sorry I'm late, this is a very interesting subject to me for sure. I may be (ok I know I am) kind of odd but I'd like to see all kinds of civil a/c in 32nd scale! And on floats! Not meant as a slur on SAC's product at all but I have doubts white metal will support this model if the plastic legs won't. I've got a 1/32 Ju 88 Mistel with a main gear negative camber angle because the axles can't support it. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Shame about your Mistel Chris, don't know if it's possible to replace the landing gear, but G-Factor make a brass set. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
