Title: F 16I Toon.
Post by: buccfan on February 01, 2021, 10:22:50 PM
Started a new build before the Herk is done as they both have the same paint scheme, parts made and ready for assembly and filling.Prifile started with a modified Pat Cherry drawing, an excellent place for inspiration. Using some Basswood pieces I bought a while ago. More pics as job progresses. Regards Paul J.

A bit more progress, main body glued filled and sanded, in hand with missiles and tanks. Hope to get some primer on if I can get my workshop warm enough, but they are forcasting snow for this weekend. Regards Paul J.

Love how you hollowed out the intake. The exhaust is another masterpiece in wood.

Thank you Lou, I wasn't sure whether to hollow it out in case I made a mess and had to start again. Same with the tailpipe. Regards Paul J.

Thank you Lou, I need to get the mainplane primered when it's a bit milder then I can start the camo paint job marathon, regards Paul J.

I agree with Lou on the missiles. You've done a fantastic job on the fins! How did you get them so consistently aligned  and square to each other?

Thank you Fraser, I use superglue gel which gives you a bit of time to move them about before it sets solid, get the first one on and as Lou wouls say, use the MK1 eyeball to position the others on pencil lines, the extra drying time allows you to tweak the positions. Regards Paul J.
