spooky Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Does anyone know who makes FOD covers for Tamya's 1/32 F-4 Phantom? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I did a quick search and found FOD covers for Phantoms in 1/48 and 1/72, but not in 1/32. They're not too difficult to build. What style did you want? That might give an idea as to how to advise you on building them yourself. GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66Foxtrot Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Try this: Hold a piece of paper over the inlet opening (easier if the airframe isn't together yet). Rub a pencil around the whole area of the inlet, holding the pencil flat against the paper Once you get an outline of the inlet on the paper, cut it out and trace around it on whatever you're making the cover out of. Cut it out, and.... Viola'! A FOD cover. Make a handle out of stretched sprue or whatever. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveCollins Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Does anyone know who makes FOD covers for Tamya's 1/32 F-4 Phantom? Thanks AMS Resins makes intake covers in, well, resin for the Tamiya kit. Quickboost makes a set, too. CAM made some at one point. The F-4 intake cover has some depths and angles to it, but they're buildable with sheet plastic if you want to go that route. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
