    At least on the AMK thread they finally have the product to cast doubt upon.

    This saga has been ongoing since 2008, when he first announced the Egyptian and a Hellenic RF sheet....................... however other options are out there.

    Trailing edge and rear stabs can be found either up or down, depending on where the pilot left the stick. I think they remain in that position due to it being fly by wire and won't bleed off and droop over time? note that the leading edge flaps are just slightly raised above the fuselage LERX

    What scheme are you planning on doing? I personally like the 222ATS 115CW Orange scheme.

    I’ll get some photos up later today showing flaps/stab positions, but basically they can be either up or down.

    Yellow, the shot with the Grey “RESCUE” arrow still had the snakes eye to be applied so obviously taken during application.

    Here’s a potential subject, that Caracal could do justice. https://theaviationist.com/2020/05/08/heres-venom-the-new-special-painted-jet-of-the-f-16-viper-demo-team/

    The forward vent should be part A3, and is shown in step 24 or 27 depending on what kit you have.

    87-290 definitely has RAM panels fitted for this period. As for wing strengthening plates, I would’ve imagined that both wing and fuselage were done at the same time(someone else will know for sure). Infact I’ve looked again and wing plates are fitted, you can just make out the round part at the rear of the plate, although they’re not as protrusive as the fuselage plates.

    The rope is attached to a frame within the cabin that is fixed to the roof, is there another system other than FRIES? https://www.skycoreaviation.com/mission-equipment/fast-rope-insertion-extraction-system-fries/

    I would fit the radome before fitting the side inserts, this will allow you get a better profile all round. You may need to add some packing under the inserts to stop them sinking below the surrounding areas(does that make sense?).

    You are most definitely correct. I’ve seen lots of people make this mistake, one example was where a guy ordered turf for his garden saying in needed 40 m sq. He did initially think it was expensive to turf a lawn but didn’t know any better, it took some persuading to convince him he had his measurements wrong.

    From memory I had the same problem areas when I built mine. I filled all the gaps and sanded smooth before painting. The best way is to tape either side of where you want the putty to go and using a craft knife apply the putty by pressing it into the gap, then run the back of the knife along the entire length of the seam to flatten it off.Remove the tape before the filler dries, then sand to shape and you'll have a perfectly smooth join.

    Surely that would be good for business .👍

    What a/c unit are you building? MAW decals “Battle Frogs 100”, might be a better solution as you’ll need the numbers to be in 36375 and 35237.
  18. scotthldr
    Thanks for the info, I've never heard of them. I had a look at the sheet and although the unit markings look fine the numerals are somewhat off. Think I'll get a sheet for the markings though.

    Hi all, I’m looking for two sheets of the Two Bobs 48-224 ‘Hellenic Vipers’ sheet. Will pay above rrp and all postal costs to the UK. Kind Regards Scott

    Coming along nicely. I always assemble the airframe in full before painting, only things I leave off are undercarriage, wing pylons(unless the overall colour scheme extends onto them) and small antennas etc etc....... I had a look through the spare decals last and I have relatively few decals left over, I’ve been gradually using then over the years. I need to stock back up myself. If you find that you need anything specific give me a shout and I might be able to help.

    👍 such a menacing looking a/c.

    Looks like the 343M tail band, it’s hard to make out on my phone, certainly a 343M load out, although don’t know why the artist put an IRIS-T and an AIM-9 on it?
  23. scotthldr
    Looking good, the wheel bays especially👍 What picture are you using as reference, the reason I ask is that I've never seen a Hellenic F-16 loaded with both the AGM-88 and the LANTRIN pods at the same time, it's either one or the other depending on which Squadron 340 or 343 Mira. 337 Mira also use the Blk52+ but in an air defense role so wouldn't be seen with either.

    The lightest Grey for the small Star and Bar cannot be 36375, as if you look at the split colour large Star and Bars they are split 375 over 320. This would suggest to me that the lightest grey on the sheet is 36495, we can see this also on the colour profiles within the sheet. Therefore you need to match the small Star and Bar to the top colour of the large Star and Bar if that makes sense to get your 36375 I'm starting to think that someone at the print shop has made a boo boo, as the picture you have of the 4 Star and Bars together looks nothing like the picture I'm looking at o

    I never said the TPS on A-4’s consisted of 35237, 36320, 36375 as we know that isn’t true. What I said was that the darker Grey markings on the VMFA-211 ‘159780’ were more than likely 35237, which is the same colour applied on the upper surfaces of the F-14 TPS. There would no requirement for Star and Bar decals to be finished wholly in 36320 either( the larger ones are split 375 over 320).
