Harold Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I just sent 8 sets and 6 seats to Gordon. I will include the front wheel (Hasegawa clone) until someone does the correction for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I did a correct (as possible) bent re-fuel probe if anyone would like one, let me know. I know the next kit will have it in the box...but this one didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks Harold! I'll have to react quickly! I discovered in Jim Winchester book a point I omitted: besides the dedicated side instrument panel with the control stick, the airframes using the Walleye got a Sony b&w monitor in place of the radar scope. This explains why the use was limited to specific planes (such as the Rampant raiders ones). BTW, even if I've yet to find pictures clearly showing them with the warload, I also discovered that some VA-164 skyhawks were modified to use laser guided bombs at the end of the Vietnam war. They got a Laser Spot Tracker in the nose end and a Ferranti gun sight showing the spot where the laser energy was directed. Accordingly, they worked in combination with two ex-marine TA-4F intended to designate the target (this was manually done by the RIO). Here's one picture: http://a4skyhawk.org/content/155066-va-164-official-us-navy-photo-5038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This is a great thread guys. Harold, I can see what you mean about the intake exterior contour, it is very close to a "C" shape wise. I have spotted just how off they are (after inserting the new trunking and getting it all nicely blended in!!!), they need to be flatter across the lower edge and have a more pronounced curve across the top. I am determined to finish these ones off now, I don't like to be beaten and have seen it as a challenge!!!! My hats off to you for getting them done so quickly as the curves are quite subtle and only noticeable from certain angles. I will still get your set for the "F" when it is available. Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Anthony, I had the feeling you did a master some time ago for the 400 gal drop tank? Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
