Marcel111 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I have looked at your in-progress account of making the Sidewinder--still hard to believe you're able to create the level of detail and accuracy shown. So when are the Aim-9D or Aim-9G's coming? Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Zactomodels, appr. late July (hope so),...considering...Sorry...These will debut at the Nationals in Phoenix and be available through the website once I have returned. D/G/H will also be available then. Hopefully other variants such as the B, E/J and N/P will also be ready by then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delayar Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Wow! These Sidewinders are really outstanding! Markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Wow! It turned out simply great! Chris, you are a real Resin Magician! ;) As I can see, having got inspired so much you managed to cast this bad boy immidiately after it had arrived. I hope the cannards and the wings are alined properly. Actually I didn't use any instruments, all was made just by eyesight. ;) I think you can cast it by shiploads now. :) Cheers! Alexander.

Impatient Pete Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Awesome Work! Way to go team! Will there be a "by the gross" discount? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 With that level of detail and ubiquity of the Sidewinder, these missiles just might be the best selling Zacto product yet. I did a quick check on my 1/32 stash, it looks like I may need up to 20 of them if I go all out. Man those missiles can do some serious damage to my bank account, Chris. haha.

haneto Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Most talented combi with best products ever! They should be the "models" closet to real things ever appeared. When will they be available,Chris? Cheers, Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks guys ;) AIM-9 D/G/H is finished: Other than different canards it differs from the AIM-9M in a few small details. It has smaller windows on the targeting detector and it lacks the safe/arm T-handle. Though not pictured, it will also include seeker covers. The umbilical will be included on the M as well though it wasn't pictured. It is cast as a straight piece and can be heated to shape the bend. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi Chris! Hey bro, it turned out nicely! :) You've cast the umbilical! Is it what I sent you? ;) Well, I think the next pie from our oven must be AIM-9X! In this concern I would like to know which thing would be more preferable: live missile or CATM? As for me, I would prefer the CATM as more easy to master. :) the trouble is the lack of nice refers. Some nice pics one can find in JM's The Modern Eagle Guide but it's not enough. Hey, fellas, if anyone has some nice close-ups, please share. Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marcel111 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 You guys rock! Ilike the fact that you also did the 9D/G/H, those will be in high demand on my next build :-) Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cunumdrum61 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Beautifull!!! Zacto, when will the AIM-9D be available? I need about 10 of them!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Chris, Alexander, That's some beautiful stuff, guys. If priced right and production holds up, this can be a license to print money. Good luck. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozef Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 GREAT Could you save 8 of each for me at the nats ? Or is it first comes first takes? Then I will run like hell to find your table. Jozef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eli Raphael Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Alex, masterful workmanship! Chris, can we order them to be picked up at your NATS table? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Both versions will be available at the IPMS Nationals in Phoenix then on my website when I return. Chris, You have single-handedly made the scorching desert in the middle of August THE place to go (at least for us big scale jet geeks anyways) with these missiles. I hope your truck has strong AC otherwise the resin may warp. Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
