Arie Vos Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I happen to stumble across some RNoAF F-35A pictures. https://www.f-16.net/g3/f-35-photos/album502/album522/5387-445457890 Seems they now are equipped with a drag chute. Does anyone know if there is a 1/72 aftermarket set? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Have a look also here: But I fear for the time being there is nothing available as of yet in either scale... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Use the bottom part of an F-16 tail? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if there is a 1/72 aftermarket set? I think its doable specially in 1/72 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 it is really a big thing.... https://www.f-16.net/g3/var/resizes/f-35-photos/album502/album522/5206-1178363836.jpg?m=1636119541 wonder what takes up that much space....

Rob G Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It doesn't look like that complex a shape, make your own - laminate some plastic card, sand to shape, scribe according to taste and/or ability. Glue into position, build rest of kit. Easy, even if the subject is as ugly as a bucketful of monkey bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Been thinking since I saw this topic first time, and wonder if the gondola from an Tornado GR1/4 might be a good starting point? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warboy Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Look for a guy on Facebook. 3D-chutes expert. He has a whole list of drag chutes for different planes and scales. I ordered one for F4 EJ-Kai Phantom. And will get one for the New Revell SR-71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 "a guy on Facebook" 😜 You don't happen to have a name or a link please - that would be a bit easier than just looking for anyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
