Originally posted by weapons mechanic View PostThanks bbaumer on the DIY project on the Aim-7's. Could be a fun addition. Hopefully my aircraft will be arriving around mid-April.
We did not include the AIM-7s and other ordnance for several reasons. The mold costs are very high, as are the assembly costs, and whereas we typically sell ordnance complete ordnance packages separately from the aircraft at extra cost, we really wanted to include at least some ordnance at the target retail price. In our experience, many pilots fly without ordnance, so it is a fine balance between including what "adds" to the value of the package versus the practical factor of what costs more than what the majority of customers will want to pay for and actually use. In addition, due to how the main landing gear is configured on this model (90 degree folding as opposed to angled aft like the real F-4), we did not have any space to model the aft hardpoints for the AIM-7s because the model's main landing gear protrudes into the area where the aft position would be. A missile there would obstruct the function of the main landing gear. Accordingly, only the two forward positions are modeled.
We reasoned that, like the gunpod, pilots who want to depict these weapons can DIY them, 3DPrint a set, or browse our friend www.parkflyerplastics.com for options.
If there are any specific ordnance you'd like to see, let me know, and we just might include them on a future 3DPUP Set.

That's the 70mm foamy from RCLander, from several years ago. Still a good flyer, in my opinion. A little bit of foam sheet goes for internal ducts goes a long way. I'm not sure who owns the one in the photo. I do know that Corsair Nut did his detailer's treatment on one a while back and it flew amazingly. It has changed hands once or twice since, if I recall correctly.
