Could it be a 'skeleton' structure to be fitted within an existing kit?
Would seem unlikely due to scale thicknesses etc.
is there a full interior kit, to donate its 'gubbins'?
only one that comes close is the 1/32 ZM Mustang.
Quite like the idea though, there are a few PE kits out there that do the same thing. By LMCTC/MFH/jasmine model

Any UK or EU traders carrying the @Dana Bell Corsair cockpit book?
$30 shipping on a $30 book is a bit steep.......🤨
-
The weird bits could be there as protection for fragile areas.
There are similar panels on the lower cowling and behind the canopy.
Not sure about the protruding tail though, as that area looks pretty strong.

Actually quite interesting!
Hope it'll come with all interior gubbins!

Hallo
Now, I am looking for confirmed payloads of these aircraft:
D- Version razorback from Tamiya as Kansas Tornado II
D-Version bubble top from Tamiya as Miss Fire
D-Version bubble top MiniArt as No Guts No Glory
M-Version bubble top from Tamiya as Josephine My Flying Machine
Maybe someone can help.
Happy modelling
Wouldn't that depend on the mission?

Since 2018 there is a new Revell German ownership. They have morphed into another toy company by merging other toy companies. Hopefully they have a good management to understand the new challenges of being a mass kit distributor in a reduced (yes, this is a smaller market than in the 70s) market. I insist they should release a lot of the old moulds under a Vintage line just like Atlantis is doing. I guess they don't see money there. The wealth of vintage moulds Revell has is impressive. They should exploit it.
they had a classic line in the 80's, mostly US stuff.

Isn't Merit also one of their brands? Not sure about Lee, who may have been the Mother of All Chinese Kit Producers (plagiators) - theirs were the first I ever saw, some 20 years or more ago.
Apparently Merit is now 'I love kit'

This would have been a perfect project for BAM models!

Yeah it’s the link not me. I completely shut down & rebooted my operating system/phone. Then cleared my cache & memory and even rebooted the Forum and it’s even worse now than it was the 1st time ? It wont load anything at all now ? I let it sit for 2 minutes and the load line didn't move at all.
loads normally here phone and pc.

Well at least that's cleared up what's going on with Profimodeler....
Shame, as he had some useful stuff. 😳

Now I'm thinking on how (if) to do the raised cockpit, to make a 'real' production machine....

Anybody ever seen a transkit for this?
Looks kinda cool.
Apparently a test program.

332884 is on an AIMS decal sheet - link here to the Hannants page: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AIMS48D024?result-token=SMhMh
Appears to be on back-order at Hannants, although might be available elsewhere..
If he has them in stock, you can order direct from him.

still waiting for the Sa'ar.....

Looking into this, based on a HB kit.
Strangely they make you buy several sets that are all F-111B specific, and useless on their own.
Anybody know what their sellers name is on Ebay?
Lots of stores have it, but would like to order direct.

Depends on what you are trying to replicate, something June 5th fresh done in the field, or something just before upper stripes were deleted a little later in events. But It seems like a convoluted way of going about replicating something that in many cases was done fairly simply. For example, if what you are looking for is a brush-painted example why not just brush-paint them? Is there a photo of the specific airframe on the specific date you are wanting to reproduce? There are such a lot of variations it's difficult or impossible to guess exactly what look what you are trying to achieve.
Indeed, using a flat brush of appropriate width should reproduce a mechanics brush quite nicely.

Do you recall whether that was before or after Mr Nohara visited Champlin and NASM (I assume those were the affected ones)?
They were still mixed up then, the D-9 is fitten with a single shell chute in the middle.
D-13 has the fixed doors removed completely.

Someone, somewhere, sometime, mentioned seats. I can't remember who it was (sorry) but the comment was around the utterly horrible rendition of the seats supplied by italeri.
Well, you know what happened next don't you? Yup, I looked at them again.
That made me do this...
For this design, I've eliminated the horrible kit pi s used to locate the seats, and gone for a center pin instead. This means the user will have to drill a new 1.5mm hole on the centerline between the two existing holes in the bulkhead. Simple job.
It's still not great is it? The problem is that there is limited room for improvement over the kit offering due to the overall cockpit design. Italeri have made the center console too wide - and that reduces the width available for the seats.
If the seats could be even a millimeter wider they would look a whole lot better, however, that means I would need to design new center console for the rear bulkhead, and since that mate's up to the one on the floor, we'd need a new console there too. Those in themselves aren't difficult, but the end user would need to remove all the existing detail and try to not damage the "quilting" on the bulkhead. No! I'm not going to design a new bulkhead with quilting
. That's a bridge or rather, bulkhead too far.
Any thoughts from the hive on that? As designed, these are a drop in replacement for the kit parts. I can easily widen them, but that means a lot more fitting for anyone trying to fit them
Just get cracking mate!
People are waiting for this stuff don't you know!?!
Did you mention vacform windows? 😈

I don't think Border have anything to do with TrumpyBoss, but could be wrong.
If they ARE.....they'll be going on my 'fencewatch' list...😉
