Danjo Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Jetmads have a planned A-37 in 1/18 scale. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaipham101 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 oh so the JetMad A-37 is 1/18? Somehow I remembered it being 1/32. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danjo Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 That will be a good scale for that jet and if tooled correctly will render a T-37 as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my days of wine and roses, I attempted to convert the ancient Aurora 1/48 T-37 into an A-37. If I remember correctly, there’s as much difference between a T-37 and an A-37 than between a T-38 Talon and a F-5F. thaipham101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danjo Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Had plans to go the other way with the Monogram A-37 years ago. You are correct in that it is essentially a different airframe and conversion either way would be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangManiac Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Did I read you correctly that there's hope of getting a -5W conversion even though Paul's is impossible to find these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimNT Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If I understood Thai correctly, he would be producing an entirely new kit of the AD-5 then a kit of the AD-5W, not just a conversion set to modify Paul's A-1E conversion. Please correct me if I am wrong, Thai. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaipham101 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Hi guys, a small update Thanks for TimNT's recommendation I fixed the horizontal tail and elevator to look more "square" on the tip. Disregard the wonky outer end of the elevator, I've been experimenting with a new resin and it's kinda shitty. A lot of people in the 3D printing community recommended the Sunlu ABS-like resin so I've been trying it out while I'm AWOL from this site. I don't really like it bth, so I'm doing so preliminary prints with it without the full detail to get a hang of it. Not ideal for scale model I'd say, using up the last bit of it then I'll do maintenance on my printers, change the FEPs, and reprint the whole thing in the original 8K resin which seems to be better. Anyway, some pics of the wing with most of the surface details on minus small bits here and there. I did correct the wingtip tho, it turned out too rounded on the leading edge side, not a hard fix. I'm waiting for the 8K resin to arrive then I'll print the whole thing for y'all to see, hope I can run it in time to show off at IPMS Houston's Model Mania the next Saturday. I'll give y'all update next week if it's a go or not so if you're in the area you can come and take a look of it in person. Fanes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaipham101 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago oops I pressed the wrong button. In the end you can see render of the fixed wingtip. Can't promise that I'll have the 5W and 5N for the show but I'm trying Fanes, geedubelyer, thierry laurent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear they look the same man quang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Great progress, Thai. Will you have a complete airframe to show at IPMS Houston or just the wings? thaipham101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
