longmc Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Has anyone used the Procal one-piece windscreen for the F-4? I can only find the one picture of it, and from that it looks like a thick, yellow toe nail. I have two builds on indefinite hold because they had the one piece. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 There was one report that the screens were unfortunately yellowed, but not sure if that was a one off or if the problem has been fixed. Have you tried writing them to get more details/photos to assess yourself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Here is the previous threads on the same: 1/48 one piece windscreen for F-4 - Jet Modeling - ARC Discussion Forums F-4G with single piece windshield. - Page 3 - Jet Modeling - ARC Discussion Forums I recently bought Procal's replacement F-16 IP with the CDU and it's great, so would be nice if their one-piece windscreen for the F-4 is the same?

longmc Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 I messaged them on facebook about getting better images. I was tempted to order one, but would be about &20 with shipping from Cypress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered one from 48ers.com to see. I'll post once it arrives. I plan to build 68-0345 from Jake's sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Looking forward to your experience. In the mean time I ordered some more F-16C CDU IP from them. Looking forward to building a block 40 175FS 114FW 88-0438 from Jake's excellent sheet 🤩 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking forward to using those for some NATO F-16s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Caracals F-16 upgrades are great, just used it for my build of 91-0353 - just pending decals. Most of them are for F-16C/D's, so cannot be used for earlier F-16A/B's. But will be possible for Greek F-16 block 72 upgrades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

longmc Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I ordered the Procal one piece windscreen from 48ers.com on 2/26 and it arrived today. Procal's pictures do not do it justice, as you can see below. It comes with a mask and instructions to heat with warm/hot water if the fit is off. Mine has a very slight gap on the starboard side, but nothing a little vallejo putty can't resolve. I would do much more damage trying to heat it. I'll be ordering another for an F-4G build that I've been putting off for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 What brand of kit is this designed for? Or is it meant to be generic? Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Procal offer one for Meng, and one for Hasegawa which I think is great. @longmc, very happy to see that earlier reports have now been corrected, the screen looks great!

longmc Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 They are now selling them on eBay. I ordered another for my F-4G kit. $18.57 shipped to US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
