    FREE...1;32 Academy F-16CG/CJ

    in Buy and sell - add scale to your title

    Posted · Edited by Thundervett

    I used to build for competition(Nationals) and have won awards there.  Near the end of my plastic model hobby I was doing "cut away" versions.(see F-86 below)

    I started on this kit and thats where I left off.  Much of the work has been done on the wheel wells and  I have cut the fuse for the internals to be viewed.  Many of the ribs have been added.   

     

    This model is FREE! but only to the right person.   I would like you to reply to this add with a photo of your best work and mention awards for said model.

    Im serious about giving it away(you pay shipping) but I want it to go to someone that will actually complete it in the same manor I would have.

    I will try and include some photos... but that seems to have become somewhat difficult for some reason?  Where are you guys storing photos now that PB is not permitted.

    Thanks very much Guys!!!

    OUTSTANDING build you have going on here, Trevor. The complex paintjob and the scratchbuilt bits really shows some skill.

    I have to ask, what is your method for masking off the windows for painting? This bird has a lot of complex curves to cover, and it looks like you pulled it off beautifully.

    Thanks,

    Andy

    To answer your queston Andy. I have always used the frosted Scottch tape. I simpley use a metal ruler and useing a sharp exacto knife I cut the same thickness as the frame work that Im appling it to. For large curved areas such as the painted areas on the Heli. Ill cut the strips a small as 1/72 or 1 mm this way it will stick down and not go all bumpy in the curves. Then its just a matter of useing slightly larger peices to cover areas that you dont want to get overspray on.

    Hop this helps.

    OK !! Your Heli is Finished Mr Meeker!! I took the liberty of entering it into TorCan( a well known model show in Toronto) There was 701 models. The meeker special took 3rd!! Not bad..it beets 4th :D Ill be shipping it out to you next week as I have to finish a bridge up north again :coolio:

    So without futher adu.

    Thanks again Guys!! Really glad to see your all enjoying it so much.

    And a very BIG thanks to ELMO aka Amil for once again comming to my rescue with his Decal making wizardtry. :woot.gif:

    Dont know if you can see it too well but I tinted the top windows and you can see the canadian flag on the right side and the American flag is on the left. Sorry Cal, I think I got them backwards. By the way if Cal Meeker ever asks you to build a model for him, jump up and say Yes! Cal has been the most patciant person right from the begining. He has never even asked once "when its going to be Done!" Hats off to you Cal.

    Check out Cal's website here!!! http://www.meekeraviation.com/

    Hey! How did my business name get in the shot :coolio: I ll have to photo shop that out but it could take awhile.

    Thanks a lot Guys! I always appriciate the kind words.

    I managed to paint the skids, fab the left side camera mount and attach the belly mount. Things are moving along nicely. A litle disapointed I cant find my decal paper and its the long weekend. Oh-well theres always tommorrow.

    I made the camera but still needs glass and now I have to make the belly thing.

    Thanks for looking.

    Hey thanks alot Anthoney!

    moving right along. Just have to do all this to the other side now. Unfortunantly first I have to go up N to build a bridge. Should only be gone for the week though, and then im going to quit my job, so that should free up some time.
