BK974 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Oh No...my twins got SCABS.... The scab-plates are from cross-delta, very inexpensive and GREAT quality! For those of you not familiar with them I will tell the tale.. The Norwegian Vipers are still doing the Falcon-Star program, which will see them all equipped with 12 hull-reinforcement-plates. Most planes have got them now, but not all. both my twins have got them, so I put them on last night. Cross Delta's scabs are very thin, they have a good adhesive but they recommend that you add a drop of superglue for good measure. The thing to watch out for is the large plates on the wing-roots, these split into several small parts if you are not careful, so I do recommend that one leaves this on the transparent plastic and "rubs" it on to the plane. For the small plates i just peel them off everything, hold them with a good tweezer, smear a little drop of superglue on the back with a plastic toothpick and stick them on. The great thing about the adhesive on the plates themelves is that they stick the plate on slightly, so it is a dream to move them about untill the superglue hardens....

POMPEO Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 nice progress, and i will use the revell typhoon IRIS T missiles on my Norwegian Alpha viper cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G-2 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 nice! did you use any decal softerner? Looking at the closeup shot, the MA decal did look a little grainy/pixelated. how close does it compare to the real 692? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 nice! did you use any decal softerner? Looking at the closeup shot, the MA decal did look a little grainy/pixelated. how close does it compare to the real 692? I did use Micro SOL on the decal, but it was hardly necessary actually, as the decal is really thin but strong. I tested another large tail decal from the package on a spare tail before tackling 692, and I really had to work it with my tweezers to make a rip in it. That decal was not given any Micro SOL, and it has still laid itself very nicely into the panel-lines. The decal is a little grainy really up close, but it is completely impossible for me to see it in the "normal" distance that I watch my model in. The stripe-decals look a little more grainy, but I will have to see them on the model before I will now. So far I am totally happy about it! Finn-Ove Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Decaling is finished....now the twins are resting in the basement, after a light spray of clear, later I will rejoice in washing these beauties.... Finn-Ove Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robw_uk Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 wow - love the tiger tail & stripes... been tempted by a 1/72 F-16.... may do that after I complete the Dragonfly (which is turning into a scratchbuild test bed so may do the F-16 OOB, not sure which manufacturer to get, 1/72 so probably the (cheaper) or the Academy versions) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thanx guys! Your dragonfly is soo cool...The decals for the Tiger should also be in 1/72, so I hope you will be inspired!! Finn-Ove Quote Link to post Share on other sites
