AEROCRAFT MODELS
NEW RELEASES
Aerocraft Models has sent information and images of their latest releases for the
new 1/48 scale Tamiya F-4B Phantom II and the Airfix 1/72 scale Avro Vulcan:
MCDONNELL PHANTOM F-4B ALTERNATE FRONT
SCREEN FOR TAMIYA - £5.00
https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/mcdonnell-phantom-f-4b-alternate-
front-screen-for-tamiya
This an alternate front screen to be used on the new Tamiya kit. Jennings Heilig
has pointed out to me that although the screen variant in the kit was used, it was
only on later aircraft after 1980, and was also then just in small numbers.
With that in mind I have carefully amended the kit canopy and recast it, as it
is offered here. From the pictures you will see the area that has been removed,
shown on actual aircraft and marked in black on the one kit part.
Note the casting block and the side flash are easily removed, and the part will
just drop in.
AVRO VULCAN CANOPY AND SCREEN WIPERS
FOR THE NEW AIRFIX KIT - £7.00
https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/avro-vulcan-canopy-and-screen-
wipers-for-the-new-airfix-kit
This is a new canopy for the Airfix kit, although a great kit and is light years
ahead of the much older kit the kit canopy is let down by having the wipers
moulded on, added to that they are in the incorrect position and the central window
is missing a wiper.
With some careful work and a little bit of time on the CAD, I now have a new
cast canopy and separate 3D printed resin wipers. As the wipers are really small
and delicate I will be offering two sets of wipers for any mishaps.
Note the casting block and the side flash are easily removed, and the part will
just drop in.
Thanks to Aerocraft Models for the information and images

FUNDEKALS’ NEW WEBSITE
Fundekals’ new website is online! Here is their
announcement:
“Fündekals is proud to announce that after a
lengthy delay, our entirely new, vastly improved web
site is now live! We hope you’ll be pleased with the
fresh new look. All of our currently available decals are
featured in easy to navigate pages, with links to our
PDF instruction manuals adjacent to each individual
product.
We plan on uploading the PDFs for our “retired”
decals that are no longer available as well, since many
people have requested them (that’s a work still in
progress).
We’re actively soliciting submissions to our
customer gallery page. If you’ve built a model using
fündekals, and you’d like the world to see it, please
submit photos and information on what you’ve built to
info@fundekals.com!”
Please visit us at www.fundekals.com to see what’s
new!
