onescale Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hello Jeffrey, not good to read about your family matter! But nice to see the new pictures of the set on your website! Looks really promising! As soon as they are available I will place an order for a few sets. Best regards, Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sorry to hear about the family issues Jeffrey. Really looking forward to the canopy sets. I think you're going to be amazed at how many you're going to sell! I've lobbied for this exact product for many years... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Sorry about your family matter. I hope everything works out OK. As for the canopy details, all I can say is this could get very expensive for me! :D Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Sorry about your family matter. I hope everything works out OK. As for the canopy details, all I can say is this could get very expensive for me! :D/> Ben OHHHH Ben!! Yaaa....f..k!!! For me too! I guess I will not build any F-4 without that stuff when canopies will be open! We should ask for mass discount? :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomdriver Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Oh jeez another guy with a license to print money.....Ok I'm in line like everybody else...keep us updated on the progress. Will they come with the clear parts or do we need to do surgery, which has me nervous already at that thought, anytime I have to do more than glue with a clear part I'm taking tranquilizers. Clif, having a number of Jeff's 'toom upgrades, I can say that this set will be a winner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 And when Jeff will start to make the safety locks for the front and main gear, then I will start to love him!! :wub: You know, those red long boxes put on the hydraulic oleos to prevent the toom putting his belly on the ground!

onescale Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hello, the canopy details arrived today an they look way better than on the pictures! I'm looking forward the installation to the kit parts. I'm sure they fit well! Great stuff! Best regards, Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 We also need them for the Tamiya and Revell 1/32 kits, please? Yes, definitely!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Those look fantastic!! I'll be ordering shortly. One tiny thing - the hooks on the canopy rails aren't up locks, they're technically down locks :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomdriver Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 2 sets ordered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onescale Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Those look fantastic!! I'll be ordering shortly. One tiny thing - the hooks on the canopy rails aren't up locks, they're technically down locks :)/>/> I think Jeffrey named all the parts correctly?! There are the downlocks (to lock the canopy down when closed) and the safety (canopy) uplocks to prevent the canopy from lowering when the hydraulic pressure disappears. In the detail set the safety uplocks are cast in resin and can be attached to the canopy actuators. Excellent attention to detail here!

JeffreyK Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Many thanks Jens!! You can be my PR guy while I'm away casting I was going to (and will) put a post up here with pictures of the finished parts but just didn't get a chance yet as I had so many orders coming in already. Thanks again Jeffrey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Still no chance!! As I ordered some stuff right now too! hehehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I was distracted by the F-101 thread and totally missed this one! Order placed! Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantomdriver Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 mine just arrived Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vodnik Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Mine (all five of them with lots of other goodies) arrived yesterday. Beautiful stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I had just ordered an Academy F-4D and saw these so I did an order. I had ordered from Hypersonic before and picked up their ejection seats and so the canopy rails will be a great addition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffreyK Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hi, sorry for the delay, but here a finally some pictures of the sets: Many thanks! Jeffrey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If you own an Academy or Hasegawa F-4 kit, you need these. Beautiful work! Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 NOICE!!!!!!!!!!!! These are a must. They really fill out the canopies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LZ82 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Got mine yesterday,"HYPERSONICS RULES"!!! Thanks Jeffery for this much neglected but very needed product...BTW the packaging was great and shipping time just awesome!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Just a +1 to all the favourable responses above. These are seriously nice items, and will enhance any appropriate 'toom. In fact, I was planning on buttoning up my Has F-4J using the one-piece canopy -it does look awesome that way! But this set demands that you find a use for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gene K Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If you own an Academy or Hasegawa F-4 kit, you need these. Beautiful work! I got mine yesterday, along with two sets of early tanks, and I definitely agree with your assessment, Ben - beautiful. As nice as the canopy sets are, I was even more impressed with the innovative casting of the tank halves. I really "need" the 1/72 tanks now ... more than ever!!!
