Incaroad Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Looking for a clear picture of what the muzzle looks like and the gas vents on the side... Thanks for any and all help Cheers, Larry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenlilly106 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I take it you're talking about the bare metal panel on the nose? Doesn't the Super Hornet use the same gun as the Legacy Hornets? If so, the vents on either side point in towards each other and with a slightly down and aft slope The center hole is open straight back, depending on the lighting you might be able to see a gun barrel Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes to all you are saying and yes I'd like to see the barrels of the gun to know distance back from the muzzle. I've looked at every book I have and can't for the life of me see the barrels. Still looking Cheers, Larry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenlilly106 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 The front of the barrels are back a bit from the opening, I think at least even with the aft end of the muzzle area, maybe a little further aft. To replicate the front of the gun, I would cut a semicircle of sheet styrene and glue 2 pieces of short rod or tube to it and glue that behind the muzzle, that's all you'll see in real life.

Incaroad Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thanks Ken I appreciate the help. I will be putting at least 3 barrels back there in case you can see more than one through the front. I'm using .025 xtra thin wall Hypo tubing to simulate the barrels, like I've done on on this Tomcat. Don't know yet if you can see it but it's worth putting it in there anyway Just wanted to know how far back they might be. Can't see any from all the pictures I've accumulated and viewed on the net... Cheers, Larry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
