DaveJL Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Just to keep everyone appraised ... the deadline for the GB is the 23:59 on the 21st November, not the 12th. There was a typo in the original threads. So you all have an extra week 😎 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Bob Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hypersonic have released a centreline pylon for the Tamiya F-4B, the kit only supplies a 600 gallon fuel tank and the way it's attached by a raised wedge means you cannot leave it off without removing the wedge and scratch making the the details of the centreline release unit. This pylon fits onto the wedge after reducing it's height and chamfering the front edges. While the US Navy Phantoms mainly used the centreline 600 gallon tank, this pylon will be useful for a Marines aircraft, here is the pylon and an Aerobonus MER just dry fitted to a Tamiya wing section. It is a beautiful piece of moulding that is easily removed from the small pour stub and comes with all the crutching pads, I've yet to fit them between the pylon and MER. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Got a notification that a couple F-4Ds are inbound from Japan this morning. I need another Phantom like I need another hole in my head... But hey, I've got to spend spend some of this OT money sometime, so why not to support a company that provides for the hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a few kits they were doing a limited second run of as part of their 10th anniversary celebrations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Good news folks! After looking through all the threads and realising there's only a week left to run, I've asked for, and we've been given an extension to the GB - it will now run until the 28th of the month instead of the 21st. Thanks to @Enzo Matrix for this. Hopefully the extra week will see more over the line, will certainly give me some breathing space to complete mine! Cheers Dave 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Great news about the extension for those that are close. Not enough to help my cause though. I'm still committed to seeing the EJ Kai through by the end of the year though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Great that there is an extra week. My FGR2 is just about to have the canopy masking removed and the nav lights etc painted, but I am hoping that there is a bit of sun to photograph it, which of course in Yorkshire cannot be relied on. Also Mrs T is off this week and we are having days out etc. I still aim to finish this by the weekend as I want to clear the decks for next set of group builds (going to need a while to retrieve stuff from the stash).

Pretty large actually (the stash), but the problem is it is all packed away and I have to go through my catalogue and find which box the kits are in. The kits are always in the box I have to move other boxes to get to. Then I get distracted by looking at other stuff and a couple more hours have gone by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
