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 Hi Pete Did you manage to get references for the seat and rear bulkhead for the F-2A? I am also busy with a long term project on the F-2 but have printed the wings and stabs and it is based on the Academy kit. Cheers Nick

Breaker Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Beautiful Jan, especially on an area that has only had a Eduard PE set previously. CruZz 1
thierry laurent Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Excellent idea!!! This will be another accessory to get. By the way, if you're considering airbrakes of jets of that era, the F-80/T-33 really need improvement in that area. They have a fantasy ceiling to close the bay whereas it was open up to the engine front. Only hoses were actually visible in that bay. An internal bulkhead with a centrifugal engine face and some hoses would do the trick and this would also solve the issue of the major void visible through the air intakes. This is the only major correction/detail set missing for that family of kits. Kagemusha and CruZz 1 1

alain11 Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 hi great stuffs , I hope that your sets will boost the interest for the F 100 ..... A corrected nose duct could be useful too Alain firefly7, D.B. Andrus and CruZz 2 1
