Pete Fleischmann Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Jan- awesome crazy idea for you- how about an F-2A/B conversion for the Tamiya F-16? just sayin’ P Zola25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngtiger1 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Nice one Pete. However, since we are talking about JASDF then how about a proper F-4EJ Kai? It can go with your nozzles and tail sets. Tomcatfreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruZz Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Pete its nice idea, but the F-2A/B is 80% different plane.... Here is Heat section for C/D Phantom in 1/32 for Tamiya kit... Comming very soon. Chris_B-1B, dustiepal, chaos07 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can go with your nozzles and tail sets. +1! the Wolfpack conversion is impossible to find and poorly designed - parts don’t fit due to shrinkage. I am happy to share the info and photos from references I have if this is something you want to tackle. Would be a new radome, control panels (including new front coaming with HUD), tail tip, wingtip sensors like later Phantoms had (already present in the revell kits). Maybe one or two other bits as well, but that’s the bulk of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone would have to do a whole set of 1/32 F-2 decals + stencils in Japanese too as well as Japanese ordnance to go on it.

Significantly different- I started a conversion many years ago but never finished it. I did all of the easy parts- bigger slabs, lengthened fuselage, vertical tail…perhaps I’ll look at it again Cheers P AnthonyWan and Cheetah11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Thank You very much @CruZz for adding another F-4 build to my to-do list - maybe a chance to finally build that Robin Olds Chariot Very nice detail as always! Now that Denmark have donated F-16´s to Ukraine maybe it will be a good idea to have a look at those special pylons - You know what I mean I imagine quite a few modellers will be lining up to build an F-16 in Ukrainian markings.. On that topic - Have you ever considered designing a conversion set for the Tamiya F-16C/CJ kit - To convert the fuselage area around the tail into an A / AM /ADF. I know it would be a bit elaborate and would probably look like the KASL set for the 1/48 (below) and involve some cutting. I love the way that your sets just replaces kit parts with little or no modification so this would divert from that philosophy a bit.. but would be super cool /Niels Youngtiger1, Kagemusha, Michael931080 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
