What is the goal?  I thought this was just a windscreen correction set.  My advice is correct the windscreen and make the normal combing and the -5 mesh combing to fit your correction.  People will deal with the rest of the cockpit on their own.

I would be entirely fine with just the windscreen correction, everything else I can deal with on my own.

I am just waiting on the Cocardes magazine that contains the article on the conversion, then I can fully access how I will tackle this project. I have just checked my order status and there was a delay as I ordered it 2 weeks ago, but Herve says it is now in the mail.

Hi Ali!

after seeing the exciting progress on the Beau engines (a must have for me!) I thought I’d also ask about the Mirage 2000 project- Also exciting! 
Think you’ll move forward with this as well?

You seem to have all of my interests covered!

 

Best

Pete

I need to check when I get home, Wednesday, but I am almost sure that the front shape of the canopy screen where it fits the kit, has a slightly different shape between the two screens. If so I would like to improve that before casting. I try to make a product LOOK PROFESSIONAL. 
I was also thinking of making a new coaming of correct shape and length to fit the new screen.

So could you guys drop some comments OR LIKE this post if you agree.

A new coaming would be a great upgrade for those using an Eduard or Quinta cockpit set.

agree!

And there’s now the ResKit cockpits.  But, it’s probably unfair to expect Ali to make a bunch of different combings.  Wouldn’t a new combing to use Quinta, also be usable for the standard kit IP?  Don’t all of the 3D IP sets use the kit IP part as a base?

Well guys I have made the shortened screen now available, I did. Lot of thinking as to what else I could or should provide, at the end of the day it opened up more and more cans of worms, so the screen has been recast and is available for all that want to tackle the correction. In my listing you will see that I refer back to Romain’s (ROM onLSP) article in Cocardes, but further up the thread he does show where the cut should be.

Perfect, huge thanks!

 

Now for the A-7 windscreen :-)

[Pete Fleischmann]

Outstanding Ali! Very grateful that you did this. I bet I was your first order for this!

 

cheers

Thank you Pete, but no you were not the first by a long way, you are a week behind the times…….

before you ask on other SUBJECT, NO NOT YET, but not forgotten. 
With no dramatics life has been challenging of late, but I am working on lots of bits and projects I have promised will be delivered, some of them are becoming very important to ME to get finished and over the line. Watch this space.

Gents, I'm on the market for one of these aerocraft windscreen

I missed the bus and they are out of stock both by Aerocraft and Aviation megastore. I will receive a notification from both if the part ever come back in stock.
But in the meantime if you guys have one laying around and you changed your plan and won't use it, please let me know I have a mirage 2000 project I would like to shorten its nose  

Alternatively If you know of a store with stock for this part, Happy to get it from there as well

 

many thanks
