Quotecrap 1/48 Academy kit. The gap is 1mm at least.
If thats how you feel about 1 mm, then dont buy the 1/72 KP Aero L-29 Delphin...
Or their L-39...

Nah, that's a good kit when twinned with a tube of Green Stuff!

More paint. For as crappy as the white went down, the international orange was a breeze to shoot (no pun).

QuoteSorry to keep you hanging guys. Another update.

Banger-

QuoteSpeaking of gaps, I thought it quite amusing that FSM's current issue has an article on the secrets of fixing gaps and seams and what do they use as a subject for demonstrating the techniques? A Tamiya 1:48 Skyraider!

Yeah, I thought it was a bit of a cop out to show off gap filling techiques on a something like that too.

Anyway, getting back to the business at hand...F-16s usually do nothing for me, but seeing it in the hands of a whiffer with orange all over...wel that's a different story!

Cant wait to see more of this one!

Tonight's work

Cockpit finished and attached. Masked everything approiate and black sprayed around the cockpit

Scooterman · September 12, 2006, 09:39:18 PM

Oops. Out of order already. Here's the bottom done.

Brian da Basher · September 12, 2006, 09:39:42 PM

Wow just remove the masking and you've already got a paint scheme that's as cool as all-get-out, Scooterman!

QF-16?

QuoteQF-16?

DING DING DING!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Going to use a combo of TwoBobs QF-4 and spare decals. Tail number will be of a actual stored Viper that could be turned into a drone. I guess the USAF has been thinking about Q-Vipers for awhile now. But mine will be first!

damn, I was about to say the same thing once I saw the orange paint

Looks like a real Whif that may become a reality!
