    Freewing F-15 separate nose section spare part

    I think Im not alone here in asking Freewing to offer the nose section for the 90mm F-15 as a separate part, rather than buying the entire fuselage. Its not hard to separate ,since it originally is a part in itself, and it being as fragile as it is, it would be very useful indeed if we could get that part alone.

    I agree. Would also be nice to see a separate nose section offered for the F-14 as well.

      I would think that would go for any plane where the nose can be glued on. I see people complaining about the F-5 fuses being out of stock, I assume most of those would just need a nose section to be flyable judging from the way it's glued on.

        yes the main body itself on the F15 is quite durable..the nose however is very weak..its just a shame to have to pay $110 for an item that could be what around $40 ..if that..the FL P38 center section is bigger and its only $40 I think..maybe a little less.. not to mention shipping that larger whole fuse for free (paid by Motion) Im sure is more expensive than the buyer having to pay about $10 for shipping just the nose. I had posted the F15 fuse body,minus the nose section for sale,and about 5 differnt guys messaged me saying theyre in the same boat..just needing the nose section.

          got a message from Freewing on Facebook..
          "Thank you for your advise. Good idea for everyone if he/she have a FREEWING F15. I will add this part in our parts list. Antholy Freewing / FlightLine"
          That sounds very promising!

              Heard back from Freewing from their Facebook page...they said they will add the nose parts for these jets to their available parts list, so hopefully Motion will also add them to their stock list? please?!!

                  Hi guys,
                  We concur that this would be a good spare part to have in our inventory. We'll add this item to our next order and try to offer a similar "front only" fuselage option for other planes as well. Please note because of the holiday production rush it may be 2-3 months before we have these items available on in our warehouse.

                      Just a quick update on this. We will have the Front Fuselage sections for the F-14 and F-15 available for sale in about 60 days. They will be on our website for preview in approx 30 days. Thanks again for the recommendation
