alain11 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 hi an other little step forward ; the ejection seat ...... the seat provided by Isracast is really not so good , the belt layout looks like something that has been "chewed" we can't determine what is what ...... I replaced it by the AMS seat which is hundred times better , but ......is 1,5 mm wider ... I removed a little bit of resin on each side , to enable it to fit into the cockpit into the cockpit , I just added the handles on top of the seat once painted to be continued Alain rafju, Harold, Zero77 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Good show! IMHO, you can't go wrong with Harolds resin bits....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Great job! Just one question - the Aires nozzle looks a tad small in diameter. Is the Isracast nozzle bigger in diameter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The Isracast seat casting is totally soft, painting it must be a real PITA.... The AMS is 1000% better. And the paint job did it justice ! Harold and alain11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Great job! Just one question - the Aires nozzle looks a tad small in diameter. Is the Isracast nozzle bigger in diameter? Hi you are right , the Aires nozzle is ....0,7 mm smaller than the isracast one , not very significant .....the nozzle looks undersized , and "lost" inside the fuselage , this picture shows us how things are on the real thing ....thank you for watching The Isracast seat casting is totally soft, painting it must be a real PITA.... The AMS is 1000% better. And the paint job did it justice ! hi Nicolas as we say in French " y a pas photo!!!!" or something likes : " no contest!!!!!"

Starfighter Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Merci Alain! The problem is that (almost?) all aftermarket manufactureres got the J-79 nozzles too small in diameter. Why? Because the nozzles in Tamiya's Phantom kit are too small. What a shame... I'll keep watching - youÄre doing a great job and as already mentioned, I have the same project on my 'to do' list!

alain11 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi I didn't find the exact size of the J 79 nozzle , it seems it's about 0,99m ,which is almost 3,1cm in the 1/32 scale . The Aires nozzle is 2,85 cm ...... I know what you are able to do , this build will be " a walk in the parc " for you Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) There is also the Eduard brassin set for the late Italeri Starfighter G's which would be ok for the Kfir. I have not measured it, though. The good point is that it's sold as a single engine, so no need to pay for 2 engines when only one is needed.
