stringbag Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm amazed how much the avionics pack and the CFTs change the overall appearance of the Viper. It's going to look quite busy on the top surfaces when your done sticking all that resin on. Not an F16 fan as you know, but I quite like this version. I think you should try and replicate the reinforcement around the PB housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmaker Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Nice progress so far,mate!!! Maybe those help you for the parabrakeof HAF aircrafts! They dont have any toothed reinforcement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 This is going well! The resin quality looks a lot better than the IsraCast version, I have to say. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Hi Phatness, The CMK resin parts are a very near perfect fit, the avionics spine dropped on with no trouble at all, Hopefully I'll get the casting blocks cut off the CFTs and test fit then this weekend, dont think they will cause any issues Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Hi all, Didnt manage to get a lot done this weekend but had a mini disaster with the Aires pit. I thought i'd give the tamiya plastic and metal primer a go as the colour looked about right for the pit, all went well and the control panels were painted after leaving the primer dry for 24 hours. I then decided to give the whole tub a wash with my favourite oils and then disaster !! The wash lifted all the primer in big flakes............ So its back to the drawing board but with Halfords Primer !! Regards Dan Edited August 26, 2008 by Dads203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Nice Dan, like this one. Thought you might Mish, I know you like your Vipers !! Its a nice kit, but with every kit I build I have to change things Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Nothing much further done, cockpit reprimed, Aires Burner Cans prepped and await primer. Drop tanks have been fitted together and sanded, awaiting rescribing and further detailing. ECM sensor cut from kit tail and grafted onto the new CMK resin tail, just need some blending in Kit main pylons have been filled and sanded, awaiting rescribing, why did Hasegawa make the fitting of stores so awkward ??? Had to cut the mounting lugs from the supplied drop tanks and use the lugs to fill the pylons. Hopefully I should get the pit finished by next week and the fuz joined up. Still working on the Bucc slipper tanks whilst building this kit Mike ! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
