Last weekend I had a bit time remaining from my other ongoing projects (to be honest I wanted to switch the project 🙂 )and I have finalized the antis-pin chute modelling and created the 3D print file: I have also modelled the anti-spin chute assembly in disassembled form ( I have mistakenly photographed the old drag chute base!.. ) : Here is the drag chute on Kinetic 1:48 Viper: Next is to print updated dorsal spine and nose FLIR pods.

Serkan Sen Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 The dorsal spine model of "Blue" AFTI has been improved and printed: The fit test of both spine and drag chute on Kinetic Viper: The rear part fits perfectly without doing and modification on fuselage. The forward part will also fit well when the raised details marked above will be removed. Next step is to print and test "Falcon Knight' and "Falcon Eye" nose FLIR pods.

My daughter is not willing to give me back this monster either, because she likes to play with the G.I. Joe pilot figure... 😁 Maybe for her I should find a more attractive toy like a new Barbie to get my Viper back... 🤔 Serkan I would suggest her very own Viper, but with a dark pink camo scheme and a Barbie on the tail. Awesome plane by the way! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritag Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Ok, so you have an interest in the F16 then Serkan… Have just enjoyed reading the thread (sorry about all the ‘likes’). Beyond impressive. I got some hours on the F16D and C at MacDill in Florida back in 1990, last jet I flew; it was an amazing aircraft back in the day, but I confess to having forgotten most of what I knew of the technicalities, and am pretty much an ignoramus about the aircraft’s development since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks lot Steve. I am not complaining about the "likes". On the contrary it motives me 🙂 Yes I like this beautiful bird much. I worked very close to FAL as a design engineer for six years in early 90's. I visited the both brand-new aircrafts as well as the upgraded ones quite often. I have some other Viper projects progressing in parallel: And this build is very close to finish: Serkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Hi Serkan, great to see these progressing. You will have a unique & impressive collection of F-16s at the end of it! I'm interested in a couple of your anti-spin chutes in 1/72.... not for an F-16 but for an X-29 & maybe a Typhoon. I believe they all used the same equipment so do you think they would fit, with a little cutting? Thanks, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after having a look the X-29 and Typhoon' drag chutes on web and compared to Viper chute they are all significantly different than each other.

Serkan Sen Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 I was hoping that the dorsal design shape was completed and I can start the build. But I realized that the fin root fairing model I took was not for FSD and significantly wider than the actual one: Also the area where UHF antenna is placed has more rounded shape: Note that the end of the fin root fairing was also added to model. The above dorsal spine is for "blue" version used as JSF testbed. The camo and gray schemes have sligthly different aft spine details: Here are more pictures of the evolution of the model: And some more images of close views: Next step is to make a test print.
