Default Any 300-sized Scales?

Are there any scale fuselages for the 300's? I know there are a few for the 250's. But, I think those would be too small for 300 no?

Or is 300 an uncommon size for scale fuselages to be available?

I've seen at least one, but I can't seem to find that thread.

Here are the ones I could find.

Hey Varc,

Here's my 300x Jet Ranger from Darthdrk. I sent him an email from his website (http://darthdrk.4t.com/) and asked what would fit. He sent back a few options, but always being a fan of Jet Rangers (and 300x only having 2 blades) I decided to go with this. I am very satisfied with her and she looks killer in the air.

I don't fly any 3D, only sport flying which really compliments the scale fuse, especially in FFF, circuits, and eights.... it definitely looks like a real Jet Ranger! I still get about 5.5 minutes of flight time which is about all I ever got anyway flying pod and boom - but this is way more fun to fly than pod and boom ever was!

It's actually very simple, I picked up some small earth magnets at Hobby Lobby for a few bucks and added them to the outside of the nose piece and the inside of the rear section of the fuselage with CA glue. I glued them on after assembling the fuselage but prior to paint in order to try and hide them a bit. I think it's easier than removing and replacing the stock canopy, especially since there's more room to spare!

Had a recent "rough landing" about a month ago that the styrene just couldn't handle.... as well as the main gear, spindle shaft, and blade grips hahaha. After about 8 months as a Jet Ranger it's back to 'ole pod and boom, oh well still love this bird! I do have a new project in the works on a 450 I'm building from the ground up, working on fuselage graphics now.......

Sorry to get off topic, but I just finished the graphics on my 450 and really think it came out great.... my brother and I custom cut these in his vinyl studio, this fuselage came with some water-slide decals but they looked cheap and I just couldn't get happy with them so we mimicked them the right way!

Got a T-Rex (clone) 450 V2 kit and Copter X 3-blade head with semi-symmetrical scale blades in the mail as we speak!
