BULLSEYE MODEL AVIATION FLEET PHANTOMS – F-4B PHANTIOM II PTS
Bullseye Model Aviation has announced details of
their next two new 1:48 scale releases covering the
F-4B Phantom II. The decals have been designed for
the brand new Tamiya kit.
These will be exclusively available in the USA from
Sprue Brothers and elsewhere internationally from
The 48ers:
Fleet Phantoms I - Item No. 48-017
Sheet #1 covers:
• “Switchbox 200” VF-151s CAG jet from the 1971-
1972 WestPac cruise, USS Midway
• “Lance 100” VF-21s CAG jet, 1967-1968
WestPac cruise, USS Ranger
• “Gypsy 200” VF-32 CAG jet, 1966-1967 WestPac
cruise, USS Franklin Roosevelt
• “Ripper 101” VF-11 CO jet, 1968-1969 Med
cruise, USS Forrestal.
• “Devill 100” VF-301 CAG jet, NAS Miramar, 1975
Fleet Phantoms II - Item No. 48-018
Sheet #2 covers:
• “Old Nick 201” VF-111 CO jet, 1972 WestPac
cruise, USS Coral Sea. These markings differ
slightly from the Tamiya kit as it represents the
accurate markings from the MiG-17 kill mission
of LT Garry L. Weigand and LTJG William C.
Freckleton, March 6, 1972.
• “Silver Kite 201” VF-92 CO jet, 1968 WestPac
cruise, USS Enterprise
• “Lion 101” VF-213 CO jet, 1968-1969 WestPac
cruise, USS Kittyhawk
• “Linfield 200” VF-114 CAG jet, 1967-1968
WestPac cruise, USS Kittyhawk
• “City Desk 401” VF-154 CO jet, 1967-1968
WestPac cruise, USS Ranger
All of these aircraft save for the VF-32 jet on 48-
017 are equipped with the forward facing AN/APR-30
RHAW antenna and the rear ALQ-51:100 jammer on
the fin. This is the only option in the kit unless you
hack them off.
The VF-32 jet is equipped with the short lived
forward facing AN/APR-24.
A plain fin tip and one with the AN/APR-24 will be
available shortly in a 3D printed part.
These will be available from Sprue Brothers in the
US and The 48ers overseas.

AEROCRAFT MODEL NEW RELEASES
Aerocraft Model has sent information and images
of their latest releases - replacement clear cast
resin canopy sets for Trumpeter’s 1:32 scale P-51B
Mustangs, brass strut and landing gear sets for the
Meng 1:24 Fokker Dr.1 Triplane and undercarriage
legs for HK Models’ 1:32 scale B-25 Mitchell:
FOKKER DR.I TRIPLANE BRASS
UNDERCARRIAGE STRUTS FOR THE 1:24 MENG
KITS. £15.00
This is a brass cast undercarriage strut set for the new
Fokker Dr.I by Meng
This is a set of brass parts made from the plastic
supplied parts in the kit.
Note you will need to clean up some casting
sprue gates from the parts and the odd small brass
‘inclusions’ that may appear through the casting
process.
FOKKER DR.I TRIPLANE BRASS WING STRUTS
FOR THE 1:24 MENG KITS. £19.00
This is a brass cast wing strut set for the new Fokker
Dr.I by Meng This is a set of brass parts made from
the plastic supplied parts in the kit. Note you will need
to clean up some casting sprue gates from the parts
and the odd small brass ‘inclusions’ that may appear
through the casting process.
P-51B MUSTANG REPLACEMENT MALCOLM
HOOD, CLOSED POSITION FOR 1:32 TRUMPETER
KIT. £17.00
Improved P-51B canopy set for the Trumpeter 1:32
kits This set has been a long time in the making
and it would not have happened if I had not had
commissioned Tim Perry to do the CAD drawing
for the two new blown canopy sections. One for the
closed position and one for the open position. The kit
screen has been improved to remove the hard / sharp
corner line at the top front, a new rear dog house
section has also been developed by myself with the
aid of 3D CAD and printing. The blown sections and
the rear have taken ages to prepare to get them to an
acceptable standard to enable good clear sections to
be cast but are now at that point. Note canopy rails are
also supplied as 3D printed parts.
These clear resin parts can be buffed with normal
buffing sponges and shiners sold by many vendors,
nail bars and modelling companies.
Recently I have found that the Micro-mesh branded
products are very good in polishing up these cast
canopies.
It is best not to use aggressive sanding materials,
other than where to assist in trimming the casting
material.
Also use your favourite clear dipping liquid to
enhance clarity if desired.
P-51B MUSTANG REPLACEMENT MALCOLM
HOOD, OPEN POSITION, FOR 1:32 TRUMPETER
KIT. £17.00
https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/p-51b-
mustang-replacement-malcolm-hood-open-position
Improved P-51B canopy set for the Trumpeter
1:32 kits This set has been a long time in the making
and it would not have happened if I had not had
commissioned Tim Perry to do the CAD drawing
for the two new blown canopy sections. One for the
closed position and one for the open position. The kit
screen has been improved to remove the hard / sharp
corner line at the top front, a new rear dog house
section has also been developed by myself with the
aid of 3D CAD and printing. The blown sections and
the rear have taken ages to prepare to get them to an
acceptable standard to enable good clear sections to
be cast but are now at that point. Note canopy rails are
also supplied as 3D printed parts.
P-51 SCREEN AND REAR / DOGHOUSE SECTION
FOR TRUMPETER 1:32 KIT. £10.00
Improved P-51B canopy sections for the Trumpeter
1:32 kits This set has two parts for those that may
like to use these for the 3 part folding canopy section
canopy style. This set may work with the Revell kit but
that is up to the modeller to figure out.
NORTH AMERICAN B-25 MITCHELL BRASS
UNDERCARRIAGE SET FOR THE HONG KONG
MODELS KITS. £25.00
This is a brass cast undercarriage strut set for B-25
Mitchell, HK Model kits.
This is a set of brass parts made from the plastic
supplied parts in the kit, but with a few modifications.
The linkages are all part of the main undercarriage,
however they are very thin and flimsy and would not
cast well in the brass casting process. So those have
been removed along with the circular tie down eyes
(very oversized on the kit parts) and these parts are
now supplied as 3D resin printed parts.
Other kit parts also need to be added to complete
the undercarriage set.
Note that you will need to clean up some casting
sprue gates from the parts and the odd small brass
‘inclusions’ that may appear through the casting
process.
Thanks to Aerocraft Models for the information and
images. All available online from their web store.
