phantom Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 What is the quality, fit and ease of construction of this kit? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I have not assembled mine so I can not speak to the ease of assembly or fit. I will say that the quality of the castings are excellent! I have used both the A-7D and F-8E Cockpits and both have excellent in fit and ease of assembly. At least well within what I expected. I have found that Aires sets are well done and engineered well for assembly. I intend to use the F-4J set when I get around to my F-4J and likely one for my F-4B with required modifications unless Aires brings out a 1/32 F-4B Cockpit. I can only hope!

phantom Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 At last years nationals in Virginia Beach, everyone that does that kind of work said they where not going to be doing a B pit. Not enough people would buy them I was told. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I doubt they will; so I will continue my plan of using the J set with my own modifications. I am currently working on a universal cockpit for USAF F-4s. I may have to consider the USN versions as well. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 There is no really accurate cockpit for the F-4 in any scale. You can read my take on them here. http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=24509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jozef Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'll send you a pair this week...Let me know what you think.. Hi Harold Sorry for my ignorance but do you make also the MB-7s seats for J ? Are those the same as for F-104G? Best Jozef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi Harold Sorry for my ignorance but do you make also the MB-7s seats for J ? Are those the same as for F-104G? Best Jozef Yes I have MK 7 seats for the F-4J. They are totally different for the F-104...look at my site: http://mysite.verizon.net/resqt29j/ I have both of the MK7a seats for the F-104's. The Germans upgraded the seats in the later versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
