CRAZY IVAN5 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 56 minutes ago, LSP_Kevin said: While I actually have the old kit in the stash, along with a ton of legacy aftermarket for it, with plans to do what I can with it, for people more sane than I am, I'd recommend grabbing a Dragon kit (or the Revell rebox), and sourcing one of the AIMS conversion sets. This will give you a better result with arguably less effort, but at probably significantly more cost. Kev Well, my sanity has always been in question[ ask my kids they'll tell ya] . Which Dragon/Revell -110 would be the likely choice or does it really matter? I'm not really up to speed on them, probably a stupid question[ hey it's me we're talking about here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll see a 110G night fighter from anyone ,so this might be the only shot at having one on the shelf. I got a 5 lb hand sledge and a Black Decker body grinder if needed. Well, if you have six months of available time and a lot of documentation... https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=3093 Even if far from simple or cheap, the Dragon/AIMS combination will put your model in another league!

Oh I hear ya on that! I've been snooping around looking for a conversion kit ,so far no joy . There was one listed [but out of stock figures ] and that one was going for $180. USD. The Revell/Dragon kits aren't TOO bad pricewise. Still could turn into an expensive proposition all told. Documentation I'm a little weak on presently, but I can fix that.

(Pastor) John may be talking a few orders directly but again, beautiful but not cheap. The set comes with very good instructions Edited March 21 by Rick Griewski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I contacted John and bought one direct. They are not cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The G-4 conversion seems to sell out pretty quickly once it's back in stock. Dennis7423 and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have one of Johns full G-4 conversations, and really hope to get to that one as well, as I do love the look. Lots of work, but worth it!

What Kevin said, but it depends on how far away you stand from the finished kit. Stand 8-10 feet away and you could get away with the old Revell G-4, any closer than that and you'd need the Dragon / Aims combo.
