Flankerman Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I think Berkut is right,radome is not the same .... What do you mean by 'not the same' ? Shorter ?? Fatter ?? Different curve ?? Please explain Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neffan01 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yes, different curve + a little more short. It's my opinion ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Well, it is shorter, that is not up to discussion i think. As to it being fatter, i was quite sure i had some good evidence of that somewhere, but i cant remember what it was or where it was now. It just looks fatter visually; ...although that by itself is not good enough. Although a horrible picture, the diameter here looks significantly larger; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Neffan, that last picture you posted shows my point exactly. The radome is shorter, but the distance from the end of the LERXes is the same. The whole cockpit assembly is in a forward position compared to the single seater as well as being positioned higher to improve landing visibility. However, the diameter at the white demarcation is the same. Ken, I have seen that picture before, the angled cut out is before the blend. The Trumpy canopy is too shallow and that compromises the carachteristic shape of the UB. Look at the number 1 of the 21 code, it is perfectly straight, no curve at that point, now compare it to the kit. Also notice how the cannon blast shield is vertically undersized in the kit. We need a whole new forward fuselage section. Ken, what book is that you are talking about? Edited June 16, 2016 by hemspilot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
