Rob Colvin Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Did anyone ever do a vertical for the ADF birds? Who did it where can I find 1? Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) PWMP made the part but he doesn't have a website since selling his shop. Interested in one myself Tony EDIT: Found this from the man himself, from a few years ago... gentlemen, let you know that this tailbase is now available at 1/32. the set includes the tailbase,upper antennas, lower antennas, and the piece with the searchlight on the left side. also included a smaller tailfin for the top of the tail. it all fits perfectly with the tamiya thunderbird kit. if interested send a mail to plasticworld@skynet.be thanks JP PWMP HTH Edited January 24, 2019 by Tony T adding stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdodj01 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Have ordered before from PWMP, received my resin parts and I have to say, they look good. He's easy to deal with, and you should have no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcatfreak Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Cutting Edge did the conversion as well, but for the old Hasegawa kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fin base for the ADF was an "A" model; so starting with a "C" fin base is a bit more challenging that you describe. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 My only concern would be getting good symmetry on both sides of the aircraft, but overall, that looks pretty doable to me as a scratch build project. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I started this conversion several years ago, but stopped when another company was doing them. I just found one of the early mock-ups in a box. I have refined the base bulge and the fin, along with the antenna, HOWEVER I have no clue where the masters or the molds are right now.
