arnobiz Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 The polls are open, have your say on BAM's next releases! Lots of tempting ideas, hard to prioritize I need lots of votes to make it representative so please share the link, the more votes the more likely this is likely to happen! https://bam-models.com/bam-dreamcatcher-1-the-ideas/ Thank you, Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustang381 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 On 5/10/2023 at 7:02 AM, arnobiz said: Our self-adhesive, thin belly strap for the Meng F-4 series is getting company! From now on it will come as a revised version (BAM48058v2) comprising the original belly strap and the horizontal tails reinforcement plates with full rivets, as Meng represents these with flush panel lines only If you ordered the legacy set and you need the reinforcement plates (note: Not all Phantoms had them! For example, as far as I know, Israeli Kurnasses don't), please leave a comment on your next order and I'll make sure you get them If your order is currently processing you'll get the new version automatically, no action required Also Iranian F-4E didnt have these.

Captain Tyler Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The MENG Super Hornet inlet was something we didn't know we wanted!! Looks so good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Can’t believe my AB-212ASW suggestion, a widespread used airframe didn’t make the cut, but the F-16U, F-15XX and F-104 VTOL did🤷♂️ Edited May 13, 2023 by scotthldr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, it is sad that till today, we don't have a representative model of it in 1/48 scale. Well, to keep waiting until Italeri issues the one they announced about 4 years ago (maybe more). Have a good one. JFG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bsin Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 How about an XFV-12A in 1/48th scale? 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Would like to see conformal fuel tanks for Canadian CH-147F Chinook. Would also work for some special US Chinooks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hi Arnaud, Any chance of a new F-16C IP with central display unit (CDU) for the Tamiya 1/48 kit? The new Kinetic kit has this in their kits, however sorely needed also for the Tamiya F-16C, and you did a fine job on the F-15C/E IP's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircal62 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 A 3d printed conversion for an early Hasegawa F-16 to a YF-16 with small nose, short intake, different under fuselage strakes and so forth would be nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 And the winner is, by quite a wide margin, the Tomcat 21! I will work on it as my main project for the coming weeks, expect a release by end of June The other ideas did not fall on a deaf man's ear, expect to see a few of them pop up in the BAM release stream soon too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems bit like when everyone was buying their whole record collection for a second time when the CD came out...Today CDs are nearly worthless while the vinyl market booms. The vast majority, if not all, Brassin parts are produced from CAD designed and 3D printed masters anyway...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I quite agree with Jeffrey: if existing resin parts are not to today's standards it makes sense to do better, but in this case I don't see the value-add and would rather spend time developing new, exciting subjects 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The vast majority, if not all, Brassin parts are produced from CAD designed and 3D printed masters anyway...? well... the error was on me, when in my attempt to assemble the airbrakes in their place (deployed) I could not understand the instructions (regarding the exact position of their placement) and as a result I broke them.... For this reason, I called them them in this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 I've been busy ever since I received the Hobby Boss F-111C kit last month, and I'm now very excited to release the first two sets for it! Triple Plow I seamless intakes for the F-111A, EF-111A, F-111C and RF-111C (plus one FB-111A!): RF-111C recce pack (pre-cut clear windows will be included of course): Here is the link for the Ardvaark fans https://bam-models.com/product-category/f-111/ Thanks for looking, Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 A lot of people have the Academy/Minicraft kit that also could need an intake like this.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Thumbs up on the F-111 intakes. Now we just need corrected deployed flaps for the HB kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruiz Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Arnaud, you seem to search in my models' stash for all the accessories I need for them. 20 minutes ago, Dave Williams said: Thumbs up on the F-111 intakes. Now we just need corrected deployed flaps for the HB kit. Are you referring to the mid-section with the wrong reversed tapering? Or are there more errors? Either way is a good idea.
