Toss this in as well I guess


Recommended Posts

Finished this a few weeks ago but every time it occoured to me to post it the damn camera was out of juice again! :woot.gif:

So here it is. Started life as the AFV Club F-16A Blk-20 RoCAF kit, but the resin and decals were tossed in spare parts and my 'old rejects' box full of cut-up plane fuselages came out. I was inspired by one particular model in the galleries (don't know how to link to specific pages, the url is the same for individual entries as the index)

No backstory in particular, except that Rafale Wings would increase payload and maneuverability. (bigger and thicker...Wakko, shut up!) Carrying a centerline GEPOD that came from the kit and Kinetic pods/tanks/pylons/bombs.

I'll get more pics up, these were the only decent ones out of the few I managed to shoot off before aforementioned doomed-to-damnation camera ran out of juice.

This thing is pretty! How hard was it mating up the wing and fuselage?

Well, the Rafale wing is about twice as thick as the F-16s...it involved styrene and lots of putty, and there's a step on the underside. But not really that hard. Was going to initially use Gripen wings and keep the elevons, but I think the Gripen actually has less wing area than the F-16, so I tried Rafale wings, and where they looked best was with a canard-foreplane config.
