this is art here !!

u r a sick man we r all flankered this time around :lol:

yes but it is a secret :lol:

Guess who will make it availaible in couple of month a brand new vacuformed UB canopy man I am in heaven it has been confirmed this bird will wait too bad I have glued the wings :) this bird will wait !!!

The reason why I wanted to build a UB version a bit out of topic as it is not a progress but it should be ok do you feel the heat http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=lahy3ZtZjE8

I tried the white but it broke too much the scheme here is the black one Does it look ok Or should I seek for a proper grey one :D Ps : Hans Thks again my friend !

Hello Hans I think it looks like it is matching the grey marking in the pics <_<

Hello Hans letter received !! thks vm !!! But can it be used as they are white and black ? my markings are grey will it look normal as I am doing an usaf one ??? :blink:

it seems possible for the front part adding materiel on the side but the rear will never ps / u r welcome wasserfall :lol:

let's pray Chris is a 1/32 lover and he can not let such thing happen ;) Anyway I keep working on it !

Guess you always wait for a full review of a kit before buying a kit unfortunately they do not exist everytime We can not always look for accurate stuff but my point is pls stick to correct proportion at least panel lines can be wrong but shape is really important Do you know how much it cost ? and at 1/32 scale level things are more obvious Back to the front canopy : it looks as wide as a F-18 front part

Hi Wasserfall don't forget to fill up the dots at the side of the nose cone junction too they do not exist otherwise it is great :lol:

Hello Wasserfall the UB canopy is smaller :lol: on the single seat it was too small and they made it smaller than before what did they have in mind ?? see pics below with comparaison with masterpiece zactoman shape zacto front view : trump front view : zacto / trump top views : and we pay for that !!!

$180 It is not worth the money ! this kit requires so much modification if you want something accurate and the assembly is not really straight forward

Nice Rom !!! Tu dors pas lol

Salut ROM the problem is that the part that kills the canopy is the front unfortunately But I still keep adding corrections until the magic day comes :) Chris : do you read me :lol: thks guys for the support !! a bit of update the small wing correction was required to make it look a bit accurate + the start of some scratch builds : = fisrt time doing real scratch + plumbing next some mumbers here inspire me a lot :)

FELICITATION !! :)

PM Sent THKS so much HANS I love being in the arcer family !! :)

Thks Hans :D this is what i am talking about The decal that guides the refueling process

Hello I neeed help from viper owner here Has someone got by chance a spare decal on the refueling part of a F-16 block 50 in 1/32 ? This part is really tricky to settle so I ruined my decal trying to adjust correctly... :D I bought the twobobs how 's my driving sheet but it seems like they are a bit wider :unsure: maybe not for the tamiya panel for this particular sheet ??? thks in advance guys !

hello folks I am a bit sad as I just did a dry fit of the canopy And my conclusion is : it just screws up the the bird look I really feel like puting this bird on hold until we can get a vacform canopy from Zactoman in the futurs It will take time as zactoman is really busy with its ongoing projects Honestly this shape is just unacceptable with nowadays technology I can not understand how trump could have ended up with this ugly canopy there is no way I glue this to a corrected body shape ( thks to all aftermarket used ) I should concentrate on the single seat instead I guess

Man pls build me one it is a fantastic job !!!!

wooooooooo very interesting your cuts scares me Good luck for your build I will follow up that one thks for sharing

Thks for the support guys I am on holiday so a bit of time to play with it I have been working a bit on the nose cone The nose was glued to the fuselage and the gaps were filled to make it look better But after seing closed pictures of flankers You can clearly see the line that separate the nose cone to the fuselage So I have managed to reproduce this line not easy precision cut is really tiring guys :P failled the cut many times so I had to reput putty and cut again cut / putty / recut / putty / recut again but I am quite happy with the result

the cockpit is basic and trump provides decals that I did not use I have just painted a bit the side panels for the moment this bird is really massive lol foldgards up the build requires a lot of putty I forgot it was so hard to deal with the su-27 in 1/32 my previous tamiya f-16 block 50 in 1/32 was a dream compare to this flanker wish me luck
