I saw you made a QF-4E conversion for GWH, will you do one for Hasegawa kits? Seems to be appropriate since it is the only OOB slatted F-4E at the moment. And also plans for a QF-4G? Preferably Hasegawa since the yet-to-be-released GWH kit has the dreaded extended slats. TIA Nebbor GWH is releasing an F-4? Or is this wishful thinking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can reach me at arnaud@bam-models.com if the ARC box is full 😉 I'd be happy to adapt the QF-4 sets to the Hasegawa kits. The truth is I can't find a single slatted kit though, and I won't release a set I can't thoroughly test fit. The only Hasegawa Phantom I could find is an RF-4E and I don't think it has the same fuselage parts as the F-4E so I can't use that either 😞 Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) In the meantime we're glad to announce our last two releases before the summer break, the super agile F-15 ACTIVE and the Phoenix-carrying F-15B (Phoenix Missile Hypersonic Testbed)! https://bam-models.com/product-category/f-15/ Set contents: Set contents (Phoenix missile not included, there are plenty available out there from Tamiya, AMK, etc) Edited July 18, 2022 by arnobiz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Just when I said the ACTIVE and Phoenix Eagles were our last releases before the summer, I decided to complete another project, NASA's F-15SBRDC/ECANS 😅 The NASA Eagles series is now complete I believe, you can build any of the aircraft provided in the Caracal sheet (plus the SBRDC/ECANS, for which I'll provide the vertical stab badge, all other markings are on the Caracal sheet) https://bam-models.com/product-category/f-15/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In other words, can your kit be made to fit the GWH kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In other words, can your kit be made to fit the GWH kit? I'm afraid they are quite different. I'm considering adapting the sets for the GWH kit but it would be quite an extensive process, not sure if it's worth it... The sets were originally meant to give a second life to the Hasegawa kits a lot of people have in their stash 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bsin Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Arnobiz, I have read somewhere that the canopy for the GWH F-15 single seat, in 1/48th scale, is wrong. Would you consider producing a new one? Brad Edited July 22, 2022 by Bsin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's available anymore. That's why I asked if you would be interested in doing one. I don't think Haneto is interested in making anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swimmer25k Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Your exhausts are inaccurate. Your model has interlocking petals like on a standard PW exhaust (bottom picture). The Active exhaust is completely different. Each petal tucks underneath one adjacent petal and gets the same treatment from its other neighbor. This allows the nozzle to swivel on three axes. I’ve attached two photos below. It’s abundantly clear that this is the case. You’ve advised on Facebook that this is an illusion. I respectfully disagree. Please show us what your using to come to your conclusion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swimmer25k Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Here’s a closer photo showing the petal configuration. It’s different than the regular PW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, your perception of the petals is wrong. You're clearly not zoom-in in enough and not paying attention to each of the edges/borders of each petal. It's clearly interlocked despite your game of drawing red lines. I can do better. The second pic, what you see as a illusion of being adjacent because you're only paying attention to the lateral ones visible which, which are slightly angled downwards due to the vector trust resting position making their edge/corners look adjacent. but if you zoom-in on the right side one on the bottom ones you can clearly see the edges interlocked.

arnobiz Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Exactly, one more picture to settle it once and for all. I will now remove your eroneous claims from BAM's FB page. You may not realize how much this kind of behaviour can hurt small producers but I wish you refrained from behaving like unless you had serious knowledge to back up your claims. For the record I noticed a flaw on one of my sets two months ago and sent a fully corrected set for free to all who had ordered it, so it's not like I'm not listening to feedback.

arnobiz Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Our next release will be the Rafale M integrated ladder for the 1/48 Revell kit! While the Rafale M boxing is difficult to find nowadays, the C boxing contains all that's needed to make an M and decals are readily available from SyHart, DXM, Model Alliance. The upcoming reboxing of the Revell kit by Academy will also include M markings 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hi Arnold, I’m looking to purchase the Rafale update sets you do as in intakes, exhausts and F-3R update, but notice that “the48ers” are out of stock. Do you know when they will restock or can I order direct from you? Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Glad to report on a few interesting new releases this past week, for F-16 prototypes and for the Rafale: F-16 anti-spin chute (full assembly) F-16 anti-spin chute (Mounting brackets only) Rafale spine/vertical stab vents This is what the kit vents look like...

Youngtiger1 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hey Arnaud, I was wondering if there is a consideration of making QF-4 conversion and F-16 Anti-spin chute sets in 1/32. To be honest, I would love to have your F-15 (Next Gen, NASA) sets in 1/32 as well for the Tamiya Eagle. Anyway, thanks for doing odd stuff that no one else is touching. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hello, Thanks for the input. I'm afraid I decided not to do much 1/32 stuff: I will release a F-15SG set but my experience in scales other than 1/48 has not been great. Niche topics don't mix well with other scales: a niche within a niche means large development time and tiny sales 😞 That being said, if you're willing to pay development upfront we can talk 😉 Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Arnaud, I understand where you are coming from. After all you have you think about business. 1/32 is great to have but compare to 1/48 or 1/72 it’s sales are down. I was in your website but found not find your email. Perhaps viewing on my iPhone might create limitations. So, can you provide email addy so we can continue to chat off board? TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
