F-16ZA-4 special Twin-Falcon (finished page2)

Gluing the tailplanes for T-position then adding putty on the twinned fuselages/wings:

$:-\$ But I realise that I forgot that my project was a single-seater, the second canopy here should not have been glued on. But I will let it that way, this is minor, the trailplanes and fins will be enough asymmetry.

Fins and tailplanes, start:

After sanding, close to completion:

note: I may paint the starboard canopy (sky blue, like the airframe), so that will be a single-seater anyway.

Going on... The next drop of glue will be the last one for this model:

The model is finished now, ready for paint (once the glue is dry, tomorrow maybe):

Your imagination is an interesting place my friend.

Thanks for accepting my engine-less crazy Falcon...

The strangeness is overwhelming! I'm sure that is the idea too

Tophe · June 25, 2022, 07:53:37 AM

To explain why model is imperfect, I am showing here the scale is not big 1/24th but tiny 1/144th:

Ahem, I know that some of you may think: "A zwilling Twin-Falcon, why not, but this huge asymmetry on the F-16ZA cannot be admitted by a sane mind!" So like Galileo changing his mind, let me (and Corel PhotoPaint software, mirror copy tool) present the corrected F-16ZB, very symmetric. All right now?

I can imagine Tophe having some interesting conversations with Lewis Carroll

If you ever run out of magic for boosting it to the sky, rocket engines should fit. Something like Messerschmitt Me 163B or the Space Shuttle.
