JL F-18 modification
 

Hi friends::)

I am working in a F-18C kit of Jet Legend, but I change to "B" version, for this reason I make some modification.

I hope that you like and tell me anything.

+ photos...

This is a F/A-18B version.

The difference in A/B and C/D version are minims. A lot of panel lines are in bad possition. The nozzle details are mistaken. The infly refueling prove panels are mistaken too. The panel access in the side of fuselage has a small hinges that no are estimated, but in the kit are to much big. and a lot of details that no are to scale....

I´ll like to make the best job possible.

Regards from Spain.:)

Por supuesto que si. Espero que me llegue pronto las nuevas bancadas de los estabilizadores. Estoy esperando por el tren de Jet Power mientras termino el arreglo del Hotspot.

RE: JL F-18 modification
 

Great! Can you post a picture or video from the back, looking into the nose. Thanks, Great work.

RE: JL F-18 modification
 

Hi:

I am not sure that you want to see. I put 2 photos. If you need another, plese, tell me it.

The nose is empty because I extracted the lead in the nose.

RE: JL F-18 modification
 

cmjets, can you explain to me how you made the hinges work on the canopy. I was looking at using robart hinges but then when you lift the canopy it will hit the back of the fuse. Please post some pics if you can.

RE: JL F-18 modification
 

Hi Dig it::)


The hinges in the canopy are like the gear doors, but made home.

I made one in plywood for test and them I made it in fiber glass. (electrician circuits).


I put photos of the hinges and the block system. I use a Hitec 645MG for the moviment and HS 81 for the block with a secuencial door system. I swich up and the block is retired, them the canopy is open and when I swich down, the canopy down and them the block is out.

Now I am painting the model, when I install the servos again, I will put a video from inside.


Regads.:)

RE: JL F-18 modification
 

hmmmm, I see. Now, can you tell me. The "simulated" canopy hinges at the rear of the canopy, do they bind at all, or simply lift with the canopy?

Dale

RE: JL F-18 modification

Hi Carlos,

Great refuel probe. Are you going to make it really functional? Now the question is where you can find a tanker for it.

Well done.

Mike

RE: JL F-18 modification
 

Hi Mike::)

Yes, I need a KC-10 !!! :D

Inside I have a brass in 4 mm for fill the Kero, but I think that no is suitable for every days, because the system no is strong enough.
