Alan P Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 AWWW NOOOO!!! Jolly Rogers AGAIN!!! Honza - no offence meant , it would still be an amazing build if you painted it in chocolate and called it a cake, it's certainly one to be proud of! Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Skii Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 What a fantastic method to achieve the smeared effect on the wing roots , this is a masterclass in building a Tomcat. Absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mullen Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Great build so far Honza, and superb paint job. Thanks for sharing you wing sweep technique, I have tried several ideas in the past and yours looks much simpler and accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwh773 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 That looks amazing I have one question, why is one jet pipe open and the other closed? Thanks for sharing Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 That really is superb, mind if I steal the wing sweep smearing idea for mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Bex it's because one nozzle cools down quicker than the other mate. Thats why one nozzle is fully open and the other is closed. And Honza nice Cat mate. Edited November 17, 2008 by daz greenwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Bex it's because one nozzle cools down quicker than the other mate.Thats why one nozzle is fully open and the other is closed. Close Daz! It's actually because they are hydraulically opened on engine shutdown, but because the last engine to be shut down shuts off the associated hydraulic pump, there isn't the hydraulic pressure to fully open it, so it "freezes" in the idle position. Or something like that, i might have it the wrong way round! EDIT: I was half right - it's to do with the afterburner / flight controls hydraulics systems which are powered by the left and right engines respectively. The nozzles functions on the ground are controlled by the air/ground system (weight-on-wheels switch). The nozzles are driven to fully open on the ground with both hydraulics systems operating. When the right engine is shut down, the nozzles remain open, but when the left engine is shutdown, the loss of residual pressure in the flight hydraulics system causes the nozzle to close. So on the ground you should usually see the left nozzle closed and the right one open - looks like Honza got it spot on (like the rest of his amazing build!)

F-32 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 And I always thought the Hasegawa instructions had it that way so that you could decide which one you wanted to model - DOH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
