Rudolf_Filip Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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.

LSP_Kevin Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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.

Violator1991 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The tyre section and the rim do not seem alright with the kit's wheels. So, yes! MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 On 4/2/2022 at 6:47 PM, Rudolf_Filip said: 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.

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.

mydesign Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) 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. see: https://www.resin2detail.com/product-page/1-32-j-29-tunnan-seamless-intake-and-rotor-32080 Edited April 11 by mydesign MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
