Trumpeter A-7 Radome Correction Help

[otis252 737]

Hey guys, with the arrival of Jake's new A-7 book, I'm going to drag the A-7 out of the stash and try to get started. With the Zacto Set not available, has anyone got an idea of how to correct that radome? As we know it's got a weird, way off shape. Any ideas? Thanks.

I simply reshaped the kit Radome, I thought I had a pic included in my build  http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=22056 but don't see it. I will have to look see, the kit though not correct is not that far off and can be reshaped IMO.

I hope he publishes a notice to our Vendor Board.  Or at least lets us know before hand if he accepts a pre-payment.

 

Sincerely,

Is that an update, because it's been saying that the A-7 and Su-27 sets will be available "soon" for many years now. IIRC, the issue with both sets was not having the canopy.

That update about restocking soon is from January. I too hope he reissues the set, otherwise no A-7 for me unfortunately.

Y'all do know Chris' wife had a battle with the big C recently?  I think that might have slowed down some production on his business end.  I'm looking forward to seeing him re-release this as well, even though I'm stocked with my needs.  The SLUFF is a great looking airplane and I cannot figure out how Trumpeter got it so wrong, but the kit makes a great build. 

More of my avatar plane!

I just missed getting a Zacto set before it went unavailable.  Just before, I picked up the kit, got a cockpit update set, decals but now I only need to Zacto update.  I'm hopeful it is released soon too.
