PavelS Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nice two seater, like the wheell bays! But anyway I think that you should made dirt around gun with an airbrush, this looks odd... :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The staining may look odd, but from what I was told, the greoundcrew in the Royal Norwegian Air Force were tasked with cleaning off the residue with a rag soaked in jet fuel, and I am sure this just added to the mess before it gets better. So, odd it may look, but perhaps not totally unreal. However, to my mind , the nose seems to be a little upturned? Still, the level of detailing and craft is very high.

As for the radome, it is a resin copy of the Tamiya boxing. Shape is definitely different than Has offering Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if you´ll polish it a little more, it will look better - but it is my oppinion, its your F-16 and your way to go :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dakleton Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Finally some more progress, I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.Next step is to finish the engine nozzle & add weapons. I also plan to add some RBF flags at some stage. Hopefully I can do all this without breaking of that pesky Radome pitot tube again! Egcellent build ... but it looks on two of the above pics as though the nose cone has been put on upside down. I have never seen a Viper Nosecone with such a curve on the underside. The underside is generally a straight line. Is this a flaw in the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
