Harold Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Did you guys see that I've made a corrected tail fin for the Revell RF-4C kit? go to http://partsrparts.homestead.come/start.html and follow the F-4 parts link Bruce p.s. those style covers don't look like they'd be too hard to vacform or make I can't get to your page. Firefox is saying no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fixed the link.. it should be http://partsrparts.homestead.com/start.html sorry Bruce Edited November 28, 2010 by Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Did you notice that the two photos posted show two different styles? The second photo shows a "modified" version of the first. One of the problems with the one in the first photo was they had no secure hand hold. The long vertical molding in the first version did not have the "hand holds". Notice the second one does. When it was raining or wet it was a bear to hold and get into place. It was even worse if it was windy! It was like wrestling with a sail without a handle. They were likely from different manufactures and I have no idea which came first. One would think that the "improvements" shown in the second photo would mean it came later. However it is just as likely it was a "cheaper" version (government spending)as it was an "improved" version! Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a cheap, thin cover. The second one is flat and more solid looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Perfect. thanks.. Here is a clearer pic.. I have this version of the FOD protection covers mocked up and now in rubber. They will be for the Tamiya kit first. The Revell version will come later. Barry will get a set this week. I need someone to verify they fit properly, I no longer have either kit. I am using the FOD cover I made before as a reference. Cheers, Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
