blunce Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Pay attention to the wing bottom to fuselage join at the rear, it's a less than desirable fit, and will definitely require some fixing and a bit of re-scribing the surrounding lines. Built two of these, and both did the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for the Heads up Blunce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 More bad news: Just looked at my builds, and it seems the front join of the wing bottom to fuse is more of a bugger than the rear. Have FUN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 You really know how to motivate a modeler Brian!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You really know how to motivate a modeler Brian!! ahh, fuhgedaboutit. The rest of the plane builds super easy. You'll be fine. Oh, oops, there is one more spot on these jugs that needs help, there's a bit of a step on the top seam of the cowling that needs sanding too, but it's a pretty easy fix.

Why you dont ??!!! its a great enviromental friendly to mask with organic matters before spaying ENAMELS <_< lol Well here is an update. I had a little fight and alot of head rubbing to figure out those control surfaces has Aires (Czech for does not fit (i heard that on the forums and i cant get it out of my head)) neglected to make instructions to install their parts!! anyhow couple of xacto cut later and multiple superglued fingers this is where im at ! Let keep this GB rolling !! Cheers NEo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just couldn't leave well enough alone with an easy buildin' airplane couldja? Had to go and hack off the tail feathers and add that resin-y stuff huh? Well, see where it got ya? Huh? Do ya? Ok, yeah, in the end it'll probably be the dog's danglies, but was a bumpy road gettin' there huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Is that the right rudder for your version? Seems to be a heck of a gap at the top there. Yea I was looking at my Aires F-16 whee; wells and all the small parts. Then realized there doesn't seem to be any instructions. So I gues guesswork is the order of the day. Looking good keep at it.
