MRF Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hello everyone - The title speaks for itself I guess. My recent web research was not succesful at all, and I found only a great set of exterior pics on Flickr, so grab it BTW: https://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_modeling/albums/72157626431784597 Unfortunately bays are not shown in this set, and I coudn't find any elsewhere - is there anyone who can help?

Crash Test Dummy Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 There isn't much. I've got one on my workbench and collected photos off the internet before I started (including that flickr gallery you posted) The only wheel bay pictures I've seen are flyovers. This thread has a couple fairly high resolution shots: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235106125-mitsubishi-f-2a-weapon-load/ I'd try search for more from this perspective.

habu2 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The few detailed photos I've seen show what looks like an F-16 wheel bay, which is exactly what I would expect. Same landing gear geometry and strut placement which implies similar hose & wiring routing, same battery box in the right bay and halon bottle in the left bay. I worked on the program but I was in avionics not structures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may be deceiving, but I took a look on both Hase F-2 and Tamiya F-16 landing gear bays and indeed it seems the layout and equipment inside are more or less the same. And definitely Aires set for both kits looks identical 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 https://www.scalemates.com/no/books/mitsubishi-f-2-a-b-jasdf-model-art-profile-7--132742 This book has a couple of gear bay shots but, if that's the only area you need covered,it's probably not worth it. Just go by comparable F-16 pics, readily available and, in scale, probably not a noticeable difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
