phantomordie Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Anyone know of a review of the F-86 coversion to an FJ-3 in 1/72.
ghodges Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Falcon vacuforms makes a "triple conversion" set in 1/72 that has the FJ-3 Fury fuselage; as well as a C-2 Greyhound and an AD-5W conversion. Falcon vacs are pretty good, and generally fit well. If you can't find someone who carries the Falcon line of conversions, try ordering directly from them in New Zealand! Hope this helps. Gil
ghodges Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 After a bit more research, it seems no one in the US carries the Falcon line. According to their website, you can order their stuff from Hannants or Aeroclub in the UK. Short of that, you'll have to trust to luck with a vendor. GIL
David M. Knights Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Doesn't somebody make the FJ-3 in 72nd?
phantomordie Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Posted March 8, 2009 I'm aware of two 1/72 kits but I haven't been able to locate them. RVHP made an FJ-3 and Special Hobby made aN FJ-2. Mabye someone has one in thier stash?
Ron Bell Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Not an aircraft guy, but didn't Emhar have one as well?
StephenBierce Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Just built that one myself, in fact, in "What If?" Canadian Navy camo. The barbarian in me thinks combine the rear fuselage and wings of an F-86E with the forward fuse of an F-86H...but that's really not going to do it.
