    All around AMAZING locomotive, absolutely the crown jewel in my fleet for the time being! However 1 thing, just to clarify how again can someone set the Compound mode, is it CV193 - 128 like they said in the video or is it CV195 like the Paragon4 operators guide? The Broadway manual is usually very easy to use but when it comes to this particular feature It’s beyond vague for no reason 🤦🏼‍♂️ Any help is appreciated!

    Feel the same way about the Tamiya F-4 series, Mike. I have three built and two in boxes. All are gun nose Es using the Early Production and the JASDF kits for the first two. The third was modified from a F-4C/D kit using the spare clear nose part sprue from the JASDF kit. Production on the E models stopped so I ordered the sprue parts from Tamiya, Japan to convert two boxed F-4Js into more JASDF (using DXM decals) to make a display of in flight aircraft. 1/ 17-8301 the first built F-4EJ to go into service with the JASDF, 2/ 17-8440 the last built along with, 3/ 02-8801 the first built F15J. The display will also have a F-EJ in Sea Camouflage posed on its landing gear. Challenged further with the added need to convert the wings to late production and have the centreline tank to build two Terminator Phantom IIs by using Revell kits for the parts. Unless Tamiya intends to do a new tool F-4 series in 1/32 the old kits are still the best in the scale and can be corrected/upgraded into an impressive model. There are videos on my channel of the built F-4Es, also have a in flight 1/18 FW190 A-5 and a 1/24 P-47D Razorback with unique features that you might find interesting Mike. I like your in flight F-4, it makes me want to build a F-4J now.

  • @larrycharney3186
    @larrycharney3186 Před 2 měsíci

    These work great with BLI locos, but not the early ones. Also, I found that if you have a loco derailment and a short circuit these units will short out one the the MOSFET output transistors. I was able to get replacements and repaired my unit myself, and I installed an in-line fuse rated at 3 amps to protect it against a similar occurrence. Programming is very easy but you cant read the value in the CV, it's write only.

    I just wish they would get their shapes correct. The A-7's, F-100's and F-105's all have shape issues that are largely only corrected by aftermarket resin parts. I'm confident there are others but these three are the ones I'm aware of personally.
