Procal one piece windscreen


Recommended Posts

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

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?

I have not. I thought I would see if anyone had received one and what they thought.

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?

I ordered one from 48ers.com to see. I'll post once it arrives. I plan to build 68-0345 from Jake's sheet.

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 🤩

Caracal also has a bunch of updates for the F-16s coming out. I'm looking forward to using those for some NATO F-16s.

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.

Yes, sorry. I meant Polish and Greek F-16s.

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.

What brand of kit is this designed for? Or is it meant to be generic?

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!
