oyoy5 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I know this sounds crazy but there were several improvements to the F4 kits and was wondering if you could convert this to a G-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Not that I'm aware of. You can convert is but why, other than there were some improvements to the F kit...you'd spend more time trying to find the correct windscreen and canopy for the G than were you to source a Hasegawa 109G-2 or G-4 kit and correct it. Throw an aftermarket spinner at the G kit and you've taken care of one of, if not the biggest issue with the early G kits.

RU crazy ?? ... but seriously, a G-2 wouldn't be too difficult but a G-4 would need bigger wheels (including tail wheel) bigger prop blades, little scoops on the nose, different seat plus the stuff Juggernaut mentioned and more. Alot easier to go from a G-6 to a G-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppie Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi back Darn, I need to stay away from these topics, they always give me ideas... now I want to convert a G6 to G2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Geesh Sean, some of us waited forever it seems for an F variant. Resin conversions for the Hasegawa G-6 and later the easier G2/4 Kit were sold. My F2/4 is still sitting and waiting for me to master “tree branch” camouflage; 7 years I bet. I am getting closer now that I am retired. So I am with Jennings on this one. Buy the G-4 kit. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
