And what about inner frame for canopy? JHMCS included?

 

I think HUD will not be the problem..

 

Hi there!  Any progress to report on these?  Just curious, thanks.

[CruZz]

 

Hello all after very long time. Last 2 months were full of casting and printing with almost no free-time for something new. But, one new set is before finishing.

It´s a Phantom J/E exhaust nozzles in 1/32 scale for Tamiya kit and tail section.

Plase stay tuned. Thank you all for support, as always.

Looks great! Can I ask why the new tail section? Is there a problem with the kit part? In addition, do you plan on creating F-4 Phantom pylons for the 32nd scale Tamiya kit?

Looks like a lot of additional detail and texture and the kit part fits like crap.

Gonna be honest Jan, I think you've gone a bit heavy on the fasteners - On the plane they're flush to the skin, making them proud like the print shows doesn't seem right. Same with the raised panels on the upper section. 

[thierry laurent]

Indeed. The work is exquisite but unfortunately inaccurate. All of them were flush on the full-scale airframe. Hopefully, this does not ask for a time-consuming correction.

[CruZz]

Thank you guys! Honestly I can't disagree with you. The raised side panels are rising around 0,15mm.  Maybe photo make them raised more then they are in real.

Correction isn´t possible probably. Specially the "screws" :-(

Actually they are so slightly protruding in full scale (close to 2mm) that this becomes negligible when divided by 32 (around 0.06mm). This is why making them flush looks more accurate. Moreover the external edge of each disk is actually protruding more from the panel surface than the center because the screws are tight. This means that actually the screw head is barely protruding more than the external edge of the disk. When building that in CAD you have the surface plus the disk plus the screw head thicknesses. This is different.

Here are a couple of good closeups from Prime Portal.

The fasteners in the darkened area next to the exhaust plume seem to consist of a screw in the middle of a large thin washer.  The washer seems dished inward around the screw.  The screws on the vertical sides and aft of the hook appear to be screws with a large thin flat head (part of the screw itself).  Also a few dome head screws.

Thanks Dave. Your explanation is better than mine! It is because the washers (disks) are dished that finally nothing is noticeably protruding!
