Cockpit!

[Youngtiger1]

Yeah, F-5E/F cockpits would be a great addition.

Is there still a small chance we might see those gunbays for the Tamiya F4U ?  Your work is amazing!

Sweet, more F-15 goodies for my upcoming order next month

 

Speaking of goodies, can you make R2D2 for the F-15, also known as the ELK-1891 SATCOM terminal used by the Israelis? None exist in 1/32 and Q-M-T make or used to make them in 1/48.

 

 

 

Something similar, if not the same, is used on Israeli Apaches too.

The R2D2 antenna certainly does exist in 1/32.  It’s part of the Isradecal F-15I conversion, and I think it used to be available separately too.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that. I have the Wolfpack conversion and it doesn't include it from what I can see online (too lazy to go open the box right now).  Unfortunately, Isracast do not have any on their site as a single item, just the whole conversion for the Ra'am.  The antenna is included on some Baz models too so it would be nice to have it as a single item for future projects.

Alas the Isra one was available during a very short time period and it is OOP for ages! Actually I discovered it had been released when it was already OOP!

Jan, I finally got round to using some of my F-15E parts recently and the instrument panels are made out of a different material to the rest of the cockpit sets which isn't as nice to use. Is there any reason for the softer/plyable black material compared to the harder grey material?

Grey parts are casted and black parts are printed.... Very different materials... But it´s not possible to cast IP panels like they are....

 

If you destroy something, let me know. Will send you new parts.

Hi Jan, fair enough that makes more sense! Thanks, Simon

I love the F-5 rails. Adding it to my cart for whenever you do an F-5 cockpit

The old CMK/Black Box Starfighter cockpit fits the Italeri kit, Chuck used it in his thread here, and outstanding book here.

Well, the book is digital, so it's easy to sneak into the house!
