SAAB J-29F/B from Fly model

[LSP_Kevin]

Thanks for the update, Andreas. I vote 'yes' to the wheels, mainly because I also have a pair of Tigger vacform Tunnans, and could use them for those, too. So I would be down for purchasing 4 nose rings, and 4 sets of wheels.

I'd purchase one of everything.

Looks like it's got the same dimensions as the kit nose.

Indeed - that was my first thought when I saw it on Facebook...

Yes please, make some new wheels as well. I will buy whatever you make.

The wheels need correction too, please go ahead.

[Violator1991]

The tyre section and the rim do not seem alright with the kit's wheels. So, yes!

[Phantom2]

Yes, Please do the wheels too!

 

I´ll buy two of each set! 

 

Bra jobbat, Andreas!

The problem with the nose is that Fly made the nose slightly short and the "intake hole" 3 mm too wide. By cutting of the nose ring and replacing it with the resin "nose/intake part" will solve this issue. 

 

 

 

The other error that I've found with this kit is that the main gear wells opening are slightly to large. 

This is however a very easy fix since all you have to do is to add a small strip of plasticard on the upper edge. 

This strip should be 1,6 mm wide. It may sound little but it's very noticable. 

 

 

 

Other things I'm thinking of doing is new main wheels. The are not bad in the kit but I have scanned them just in case.

What do you think? Should I make them as well? 

This is how they look in the kit: 

 

 

And in real life: 

 

 

I'm hoping to be able to start selling the nose parts in about two weeks.

I've just bought a -B model, and I look forward to buying your improvements whenever they're ready,

Actually the J 29 cockpit is this shallow! It had to be since it's squeezed in above the intake channel.  

Here is how it looked like without the seat installed when I worked in the cockpit... 

 

 

However, I wonder what Fly where thinking when they put that big box on the cockpit floor for the seat to sit on... 

The seat should be sitting directly on the floor.

Perfect reference as well, thanks for this Andreas!

Looking good, I too would be interested in obtaining these sets when available.

Welcome aboard, Andreas!

 

 

Very glad to have you here. As a Tunnan fan, but hardly an expert, I'm looking forward to both your appraisal of the Fly kit, and your proposed fixes for it. Put me down as a customer for any correction parts you produce.

 

Kev

Ditto...Welcome Anders.

I saw that on the LSP main page, news was announced about a Resin2Detail set,  which claims to correct the Tunnan kit nose ring intake.

There is also a "seamless afterburner exhaust" from what appears to be the same mfr as in Meindert's post:
