Thank you. Ordered the props. Now that's all I need are the rocket launchers and perhaps 5" HVARs. Any comments CMK HVARs? Vandy 1 VX 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments CMK HVARs? trumpeter has some nice ones in there Avenger kits also Isra Cast makes the launchers for the HVARs mentioned in this post earlier. check Hannantes for a company that makes HVARs and metal. real nice ones too at that I would pass on the CMK ones.

Fooesboy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi guys, Instead of starting a new thread I thought that I'll just add to this one. Does anyone make a frameless canopy for the Tamiya Corsair? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Squadron makes a vac canopy for the Revell 1D kit so that might work. Carl Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granger Davis Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I wonder if sanding down the canopy frames then polishing them out and dipping in Future would do the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I wonder if sanding down the canopy frames then polishing them out and dipping in Future would do the trick? Cant see why not actually.....good point. All we need now are some centre section pylons and we are pretty well covered, apart from that pesky underwing lamp!

David Hansen Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Matt McDougall famously said, that Tamiya is terrible in terms of doing follow-up offerings of later versions of their subjects. Looks like maybe this is another case of that. I heard rumours the Spitfire XVI did not sell well, but its only rumour not fact. Are the rocket stubs in the Trumpeter Avenger, Corsair, or Hellcat any good? david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 If the rocket stubs in those aren't good enough, Brian fawcett in the U.K. Makes rocket stubs (see my kiwi p-51 build) and I think isracast may as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCGMK1 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I was just thinking that you could possibly use the 21st Century Toys Canopy it's frameless, they have the two center line drop tanks, and HVAR's. I know it's not the greatest but maybe be with a little work could come out nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I am currently trying to do a conversion myself. I have a Trumpeter canopy that I am trying to work with and it is in need of some reshaping of the framework and repainting to better fit the outline per the Tamiya part. I don't think it will be able to be displayed closed- only open. Still trying to decide whether to sand off the extra frames from the Tamiya and polish. Anyone tried this avenue? I have used the paddle prop blades with slight modification from the Hasegawa P-47 in my parts box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick HMD Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I have used the paddle prop blades with slight modification from the Hasegawa P-47 in my parts box. The Hasgawa Hellcat also has a nice 3 blade paddle prop that would work for the 1D. Just a little soft on detail in the hub area.
