Looking good 

Quote from: mexchiwa on December 18, 2022, 04:24:33 AMLooks great - but one problem may be that the F-18SE is too short.  There isn't enough room for the engine behind the wheel wells. Maybe add an extension? 

My guess is that the engine would be somewhere between/above the wheel wells...

That's what I expect as well. I've put quite some putty inside the intake area. Hopefully it's enough to counterbalance the heavy tail.

It does look short. I was contemplating to lengthen it slightly, but the exhaust is yet to attach. Now the aft section looks a bit like F-35 

Wow ! They've really come along since the last time I've checked in. Excellent work !

The F-16TE is sort of done now. I haven't put on any weapon load or tanks, surprisingly, it's not tail heavy. Since the donation kit is an F-16N, I just make use of the existing decals and give it a snow aggressor camouflage. Not sure if I want to put on the tanks and all. It looks good enough without weapon store. F/A-18SE will come soon.

The word DAMN!!! comes to mind here..
Wicked cool build ..wicked cool   
That kinda gives me ideas now for the F-14 delta.

Couldn't wait to see the delta F-14 

Your F-16 is just COOL. You are a magicial merging different shapes.        

Nice work ! With that camo this build has made the turn from super-cool to epic !

Best splinter camo ever!

Yeah I can't wait either and I still hope to get it this week but this sucky part of the yr has struck again with the starter motor in my car died and I've been waiting 2 days for my new one..better come tomorrow or I'm gonna have to nick a mates car 

That looks great, it would have fooled me into thinking it was just a F-16 if I had seen the finished model before browsing the thread. Probably would have just had a glance and moved on. Well done, looking forward to the F-18

That Viper looks so good with that camo!!  

Looks good. On F-16N loadouts:

"We normally flew the N with an AIM-9 Sidewinder captive training round on the left wing-tip, and an ACMI (air combat maneuvering instrumentation) pod on the right wing tip if we were going to be operating on a range equipped to support the system."

F/A-18SE is finally done. All marking and decals are straight out of the box.
