Exclamation Yoavhozmi models request

Hope this is right threads as cant find a wanted section.I have finally decided to make a start on yoavs superb models but i have a major issue.I have tried to source canopies for these aircraft to no avail.I have neither the skills or equipment to make these and feel the models would not be given justice if made without them.I am looking for someone somewhere to make me thee canopies.I would of course be prepared to pay them for their time as well as any material,packing and shipping costs to new zealand.I will need canopies for all the aircraft listed below.Would be great if someone could do these for me.There might even be a market from other members with same issues.Hope to hear from someone soon.

kind regards
a/c canopies needed all at 1;30 scale
F4 phantom
F15
Kfir
Mirage 111
Mystere
Ouragan
Super mystere

1/30 scale? thats a bit odd sizing.
GPM has a nice 1/32 canopy for the F4.
I have a couple of those myself (for my maly kits, if i ever get around to...).

But 1/30 isn't going to be useful for any other F4 kits.
And since there is so much work goes into making a plug...
its not worth my while. sorry.

Try making your own plugs...and then find a local model maker with a vacuform.

GPM canopy is not good for my F-4, but MALLY canopy is a good one....i used it for my F-4.


and Alan.....
i will try to help you with this, i was talking with my friend and he told me he will help me with the shipping, i will try to help you with this, but i can't promise you.

another thing, vacuum form is no hard to do and it is good to keep one for other uses.

take care

I print YOAV's models at 93.75% which produces a 1/32 scale model. Or print them at 90.91% for a 1/33 scale model. Sourcing canopies in those scales should not be too difficult.

but Alan, i think what YankeeBoy said is a good idea, to resize my models to 1:33 or 1:32, and then you can buy canopies from the internet, it will be more fast....think about it.

i said it again, the canopy of GPM for the F-4E is not good for my F-4E because is short and narrow, but the MALLY canopy is good.

good luck

herky,
You can take a look at the following links
(Although in Hebrew, but you can use Google translation).
Very simple to build such a box or buy...

i think it is better to buy the canopies first, and see if there is everything and then start building the models that you find for them the canopies.

good luck with the new project.

take care
