Been a while, but managed to get a few things done. Quietly. Upper fuselage with some Black dog resin inserted. Tail base section with electronics added and glued in place. Primed with Vallejo Grey. Details are pretty nice and crisp. Lower part of the said fuselage. Some panels removed and...

Right - time for one of these things ...updates. In tune with updating the whole site, great effort there MP. Reading through that technical stuff made me feel 20 again ..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... DNS..........mmmmmmmmmmm. Very Homer Simpson-ish. Anyway, things got crazy here, as in broken kind...

Right, time for another update. Two big parts joined together. Front and rear fuselage sections are now one. Insane amount of filing and dry fitting - ended up slapping some Evergreen styrene on either half because the contact area between the two halves is going to hold a lot better with...

Eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Thank you, this makes two of us :bigrin:

True of course. Having said that, our business here is to showcase models, even it means we stray from reality at times. I have long given up on competitions where judging is all about counting rivets. A fun diorama to do - have all weapons mounted, while the maintenance staff are waist deep...

Hope not, but if it does happen, I will place the model on a slightly curved surface and call it "Spacetime distortion" - big Einstein fan here :coolio1:

If I were to do a diorama, I would have shown a bunch of maintenance staff working on the plane while ordnance people are getting the weapons ready, while pilot and tactical officers have a confused look on their faces looking at a map with a ziggity-zaggity line showing the path to target. I...

Thanks MP:bigrin:

Thank you, your F-16 looks pretty impressive to me.

Another small update. Glued cockpit and air intake sections together. Port side. Black dog engine - comes in two parts, front with intake turbine -primer, Vallejo gunmetal and some colors added here and there. Rear - exhaust, same treatment. Will get a wash with Tamiya panel line...

Thank you :good:

Doubt it :hmm:

True, working on it.

Right, section behind cockpit now. This isn't done yet, but I can share a few pics. You can barely see it, but this whole section ends where the cockpit begins (gap there in the pic). The side panel that is closed is not part of this section. Underneath, there is a small part of the air...

Certainly not what you want to do if budget is a concern - kit alone is nearly AU$100.

Hai, Zorro-san :bigrin:

The more detail, the better !

Crazy says you, madness says me :bigrin: Right, time to make a move - the Black Dog F16 C Big Set (for Tamiya they say) is a little bit of a monster. Nose electronics - the whole chunk around and to the rear of the cockpit, turbine & co, right behind the air intake (top image) engine...

Few miles up the coast - Aussie slang for a long way away - these little things laugh in the morning too. I don't mind, I find that relaxing. Looking forward to seeing some Ian magic here mate :popcorn
