Default Kyosho F-4 conversion to E-version


Hi guys

after a colleague crashed his F-4 from Kyosho and was unable to get replacement parts, we came up with a plan. I bought another one to have a master plug for the canopy. He built up a set of scale nozzles while i drew up the nose and gun in CAD.



The molds were test-milled into wood before milling the aluminum molds were milled.



Weight saving of glass parts was quite astonishing:








First impressions look quite well compared to the kyosho standard :-)





I just applied the grey-grey camo scheme of the german air force.






Now all that remains is a black nose and the scale nozzles, and the new F-4s will be ready for action :-)

Best regards
Hank
