Jack-Swiss Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Hello ARC'ers, my hornet is really fighting with me all the way through and so I decided to put it aside before destroying it during a wrath attack!!!! Sssso, what a better way to relax than starting something new and challenging?!? Therefore I put out of the stash a vipeeeer...after long meditation an idea came through my mind! Since my best friend, modellingwise, my master and guru and also a very good friend is dutch I decided to make him a tribute and honor him with a build of the RNLAF...so what best than a viper? well there could be a nice zipper....ohh well, viper first came to my mind :lol: So here I am...nice project which I want to dedicate to him (he will join ARC soon or I'll yell after him...do you hear me dude?!?!?I know you are reading this....) Since will be a tribute I prepared a better presentation for this project...see pictures!hope this "new style" will make to my pics an even better appearence! I promise, I'll will finish this...hopefully before my next exams session starts!sheees my school's starting to be very painful...and very demanding too!!! The plane is a F-16AM MLU from the 315 sq "Lion" with the commemorative livery of theur 50th anniversary made in 2002....but since this sq has been disbanded this plane went to the 313 sq in Volkel AB and became a fully updated plane as you will see in the pictures (just the hassle of the parachute tail remained...grrrrr). The guys who followed my thread on dutch vipers on jet modelling forum will know what I'm talking about LOL LOL Guys, what else, hope you will enjoy it...I will try to maintain it as much as updated I can!!! Everything you want to say is welcome...comments, criticism, jokes...whatever!!!LOL LOL Cheers EDIT: are the pics too small?!?tell me know so I can change all the project pics!

AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH! once a picture is loaded to you internet cash at your hard drive it does not matter how many times it is quoted - it will be shown from you hard. But I agree, it is annoying. I have to scroll the same pictures two times at least =) Jack, this is an interesting project. Good luck with it! Edited March 6, 2009 by Kasatka Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST0RM Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 What a great Viper to build. The tail art alone would be reason enough. Good luck with your build. I'm looking forward to following your progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jack-Swiss Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Hi mates, sorry for the delay but I've been (and still I am) very sick...I got a bronchitis and this kept me in bed from sunday till now with 39+ celsius (102 F if I recall it right...) and so I wasn't/ain't preety able to do anything... I managed to complete just some things before getting the fever on saturday afternoon and then nothing else...now I'm still not well and I hope that by tomorrow or friday I'll be back "online" and in great shape again... Hope you will enjoy this update anyway even if short and excuse me if I won't answer you immediately but I need to rest... Criticism and comments as well as everything you want to write is warmly welcome!!! Enjoy Cheers Edited March 24, 2009 by Jack-Swiss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgrease Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Jack - I love your build! One request - can you enlarge the font a bit on your pics? When the board reduces them, the writing is hard to read, and enlarging every shot will take a lot of time. Thanks and keep the pics coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
