Wow, great!

Could it be that at least for the Revell kit you would also need 4 new LAU rails for the main/ standard wing  pylons? Also for consistency alone this would be great!

Thanks!

Yes, the LAU-128 launchers are included in the Revell set as well as a couple of other things (small GP antenna on the right side of the upper fuselage, slanted antennae) as the Revell Monogram kit represents a Strike Eagle from before these appeared ;)

  • 1x Early F-15 spine

It's been a while since I last posted some news, so here we are with two new items for the new SR-71 Blackbird Revell kit, to go along with the cool Caracal sheets recently re-printed 🙂

Side covers fitted with just a tad of Blutack, which is why they are not flush with the fuselage ;)

Both can be found here 😉

 

Thanks for looking,

  • arnobiz changed the title to BAM News - SR-71 LASRE (Linear Aerospike SR-71 Experiment) released in 1/48!

We're very happy to pre-release a big conversion set: the NASA SR-71 LASRE test aircraft! This set will come with the LASRE-specific decals, which should come back in a fortnight. However as making these large parts takes a lot of time I prefer to open orders now so I can make the parts and ship all once the decals arrive.

 

BAM SR-71 sets

 

Due to the decal sheet, this set will be a limited series so I would advise to order one now if you want one!

Very happy to announce that we have now covered all NASA F-15s, with our last 3 releases: F-15 ACTIVE, Phoenix Missile Hypersonic Testbed F-15 and F-15 SBRDC/ECANS in 1/48 scale :) You can find more information on each of these technologically impressive programmes through each of the links.

As a reminder, we'll take our last orders before the summer break tomorrow Wednesday 20th of July ;)

Is there any chance these might be released in 1/72 scale as well?

(Sorry for the thread hijack)

Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately I've had very, very limited success with 1/72 sets so far and the rework required to make the current sets fit a different kit would far outweight any sales I can reasonably count on 😕

I hope that they will scale down their 1/48 products and release 1/72 sets for use with "Early Bird" Caracal decals for F-15, F-14, A-10 prototypes and some NASA Aircraft.

 

We really need such parts for use with these particular decals and finally, have an option to build the first and colorful versions of these iconic aircrafts !

Our next release will be the Rafale M integrated ladder for the 1/48 Revell kit! While the Rafale M boxing is difficult to find nowadays, the C boxing contains all that's needed to make an M and decals are readily available from SyHart, DXM, Model Alliance. The upcoming reboxing of the Revell kit by Academy will also include M markings 🙂

Wow  those recent sets look great!

Regarding the F-16 anti spin shute, is this for specific airframes only  or e.g. also for the XL?

 

Thanks!!

My understanding is that it is the same for all F-16-like airframes, including the XL :)

Time for some new releases ;)

 

This time we covered the most advanced Super Hornet features to date. Although some were not operationally adopted they still look pretty cool IMHO 😉

I hope you like them,

Dear friends,

 

Due to changes in my personal situation I will need to mark a pause in BAM's operations as of November 30th. While I hope the pause won't last long (still so many product ideas!) I have unfortunately very little visibility at this time. Which is why I wanted to give everyone a chance to get one of our sets, just in case.

 

The website (bam-models.com) will remain operational and all instructions will be accessible, just the shop will be closed as of 15-20 November depending on the order backlog.

 

I am aware some instructions are still missing and I apologize about this. At this time I am focusing on one final development, missing instructions will be done asap but possibly as late as December


Thanks everyone for your understanding and support!

 

Arnaud

  • arnobiz changed the title to BAM News - (hopefully temporary) closure

That is unfortunate Arnaud!

I do hope things improve on your side!

 

I am still "in need" of several of your products,but I thought to spread that out...

 

So expect an order this weekend to be on the safe side 😀

Following up on the early Tomcat sets, I'm very glad to announce it is now possible to build NASA's very own F-14A 991 (BuNo 157991), the only Tomcat fitted with canards (the ARI system, for Aileron-Rudder Interconnect) :)

Hello,

 

Our latest releases are (for the first time) aimed at prop-driven aircraft! A set of upgrade parts for the lovely Tamiya P-38 and two sets to enhance what's visible in the Kinetic E-2C Hawkeye

 

Let me know if you have other ideas for your projects!

 

Arnaud
