viperbite Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks to Jake's information, and luckily, I do have some Hasegawa's LANTIRN pod in my stash, but the pylon is from Tamiya, Hase's part is little funny on the shape... next step is decal, and this aircraft will soon be finished:) Regards, Jin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You're welcome, Jin. Happy to help. Let me know if you need any photos. I've been to the squadron to shoot their jets four times, and they gave me a bunch of OIF photos they took of their jets during the initial air campaign for use in my ANG F-16 book. Drop me an e-mail if you need some. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viperbite Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Any more on this one? More are coming... This build is about to be finished soon... but the pilot is still in WIP, and... the static wicks on the right main wing are missing, too. As the Blk30, some teasers are presented here. And also... the LITENING is still in place and waiting for changing to be continued... Edited April 21, 2009 by viperbite Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viperbite Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Stunning mate! Just stunning! Amazing! i am just about to start my first jet build ( A Tamiya Block 50).Now I dont want to! Thank you guys, very appreciated. During last couple of days, I finished the pilot... well... it's not the one with those fingers earlier in this thread, I found those fingers would affect the canopy to close, and certainly I don't want it open, so... I had to make another one, but still, I made some add-ups to the finger and stuff, I'll definitely post some clear shot of the pilot next day or two. Another thing I finished are some tiny stuffs inside the undercarriage bay and some weathering stuff nears that. Um... I may shut up and let the pics talk: Cheers, J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
