X-Plane Fan Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 This is the Project Tagboard version (Senior Bowl version coming) , and at last I have finished..almost. There is a little more engraving to do, and some to repair. Its not perfect I have to say, but it is pretty good. The Q bay is separate, and to fit it flush will require a little filing to adjust the fit. Kiwi Resin Models http://www.kiwiresin.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris the cabbie Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Looks very nice! Due to the size of an SR-71 in that scale, is there any chance you would consider adding these in 1/72 as well? On a side note, will you be offering the F-86A style windscreen (and tail?) in 1/48 as an option on your site? I'd be interested for sure.

fulcrum1 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Looking good....always wanted one in 1/48! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just throwing this out there, there is a untapped market for sr-71 parts and upgrades, also the yf-12 tailcones and noses, there has to be money in that there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Space Tiger Hobbes Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Why would anyone be interested in that when we could pay $150 on ebay for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 D'oh!! I should have realized you were behind the excellent conversion, Your stuff rocks the casbah! I almost pulled the trigger n your conversion but decided to do the standard SR model. I hope this works out great for you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Plane Fan Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I've managed to test shot the 1/48 D-21 drone, the lighting means the detail hasn't shown up so well in this pic. The D-21 is the correct length, engraved detail, and open Q bay with camera pallet separate. This is the biggest chunk of resin I have ever cast.

Dlj60 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hello I know I'm outdated but may I kindly ask if this 1/48 D-21 Drone still available? Would like to get one if possible. Thanks and with kind regards Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
