joker Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Tamiya's 1A?....seems as thought the 1D version we thought would be a no brainer isn't happening...or am I just being pessimistic. Thanks for your patience, Peter Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It might but we'd need rocket stubs and bomb racks also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 and a different prop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 .mmm....all good points. Trumpeter provides the stubs, but still need work, not sure if a bomb rack is included...the prop, though..I wonder if Trumps prop is any good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Colvin Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 tail wheel strut difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes...another bit to review and replace...still do-able though..well only if the canopy fits..I guess you could also try and sand out the 2 ribs on the Tamiya canopy, however I wonder if it would leave a ghost of the ribs even when sanded and polished...anyhow keep the tweek items coming...

Darren Howie Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Given how desperate people seem for a -1D i am surprised nobody has asked this before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Isn't there a vac form one for the old Revell kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Squadron has a vac canopy. As far as sanding off ribs, Tamiya's jets have a seam that needs to be sanded, and they don't have "ghost" images after sanding. joker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I would hope that Tamiya and Trumpeter's Corsairs are true to scale, so anything would be interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) I would hope that Tamiya and Trumpeter's Corsairs are true to scale, so anything would be interchangeable. Only if they were : 1) perfectly accurate ! 2) designed/engineered the same way I have a Trumpy 1D in the stash. If someone want to send me a Tamiya 1A, i can try !

joker Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Okay ...how about Tamiya wings with Trumps fuselage?..just thinking out loud here...Trumpeters wings and silly flaps are a weak point for sure, if I remember correctly there may be some issue with the landing gear doors being the wrong shape as well.....not sure I haven't been able to compare the 2 kits yet...but you'd get the correct (ish) fuselage with way better (and stronger) wings in the folded position?...however Trumpeters engraving might (would) have to be toned down, and it might be really tough to get the 2 components to match up without engraving the whole project...mmmmm, might be beyond my skillsets..or desire.

LSP_Ray Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I would think that would be a waste of a Tamiya kit! If you just used the Tamiya wings, you would still have to add the rocket stubs and bomb pylons, so why not just add them to a full Tamiya kit? I don't think there are that many other differences between the -1A and -1D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Very true, I think it would be a waste of a perfectly good kit...unless you could get your hands on the correct sprues..I think it may be a case of just seeing what fits ( if anything) and go from there...see if the Squadron vacform fits and if not, vacform one myself....by that time someone would have come out with a conversion kit....

toadwbg Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Only if they were : I have a Trumpy 1D in the stash. If someone want to send me a Tamiya 1A, i can try ! LOL, me too. I call sloppy seconds! Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
