Kagemusha Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I hope it happens, they had a conversion listed on their website quite a few years ago, then it disappeared... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Howie Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Great stuff ill be in for a couple of Woodpecker RF’s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Ditto. Want a blue "sea scheme" Woodpecker, but the Korean "box bird" would look awfully nice too, as would a vanilla RF-4C from Alconbury or Zweibrucken. I really hope this goes ahead.

SimonCornes Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 There is an RF-4 conversion on eBay, not expensive but is it any good? Don’t know !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely the old Black Box/Avionix set or an 'updated' copy of that. It was of an era, but the solid casting let it down. I'm hoping the Wolfpack-Design set provides a hollow nose, preferably in clear resin, with some depiction of interior sensors; also the rounded camera hatch style on the RF-4E. Anyway, it's got to be better! Tony Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonCornes Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 AA Productions/LRoyBrown on eBay now - £29 including postage. He also does resin gear bays. Might be worth a flyer - looks pretty much like an RF nose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good (I have a copy) but Gary at GT Resin claimed the IP was slightly undersize. Looks okay to me. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The parts are tailored to be used in the Tamiya kit. By the way the Tamiya IP parts are also undersized because of the fuselage thickness. So, if the resin parts are indeed underscaled, this is actually a moot point.

Dave Williams Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Personally, I prefer resin cockpits that fit the kit rather than scale correct cockpits that require gouging out the kit plastic in order to shoehorn them in. I checked my EJ Kai IP against the kit IP and it seems pretty close to the same size. Wolfpack used the kit part as the basis for the master, so it should be the same size, although there might be a little shrinkage, as can be normal with molds and resin. thierry laurent and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Man Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I wish I wish I wish. A good conversion by those Wolfpack Design Abteilung Guys. They make a good resin product. Kind regards, Robert Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
