Mr B

Heard once a soothsayer saying:

Truth well told,
Lies well sold,
Treat your model like a pound of gold!!

If Mr B, apa pun bole....:rolleyes:

Sgt Buds, Six Zero out!!

Yer got yer viper finally eh?

Thanks for the motivation.........Bud

Brutus - THis one is the "c" lah I was looking for the "A" ..tapi sudah dapat

Some progress guys...........



Top fusalge sambung and vulcan housing in place........and all painted black



Cockpit done and washed ...........but I cannot get good shots.....due to light and camera..........



Main gear housing all done..........and washed.......the battery is a nice touch ........kudos Kinetic........

There is a gap between the HUD controls and the cockpit fairing.........I think bomber got that as well........so I need to built up some plastic card......and flush it out.......

Thats where I will continue.........and then the halfs are togeter........

Overall ...........this puppy needs lot of work.............but I aim to finish it decent........as I started it


Rgds
Mr B

looking good B despite the problem you're facing :D

so the Legend seat painted already?

kuman

B,

This is fast, I inspected my AM as well, I saw a lot of ejector towers here and there including those hard to sand area like intake trunk.. did you get the same?

anyway, my construction start soon.. :D

Kuman - The Legend seat will not be used. It is too big to fit in well......do not want to spoil the side details..........so just the kit seat with Juruterbang.........perhaps....

Thomas - Yes.........so they are called injector towers.........is it.........lots all over the place....and yes in the intake area as well...............pls start your build log.......can compare notes......

Mr B

Good to see another Viper contruct in the hangar! This is one of my favorite viper. :D

i like what u did on the main wheel bay.... outstanding!

Kirin- Thanks I say start now where you can compare build notes with a plenty of folks on vipers.............the c model is nice.........very sleek....

Mojimbo- Thank you .........I too am pleased with the results.......there is also some chipping down there.............but my camera n photo skills not there yet

Update 12/5/09

This was bugging me for sometime...........I closed up the fuslage.....tonight............not too bad.....also managed the plastic card trick on the panel and coming.........

Pics are as follows

Next is the nose section and intake..........and of course some clean up..........

In fact, the part layout and sequence is good......in units........so its like many small models into one............:0

hi mr.b nice viper in progress there..

just a bit curious.. i see u using those paper clips/clamps.. but i don't see anything laid between the clamps and the kit, wouldn't that creates some faint marks on the kit?? :o

Hi Klay

Thanks for the nice words....no imprints lah....infact I just took them off before leaving for work today.....must inspect more closely once I get back..........thanks

But on other kits usually no imprints.........left

Rgds
Mr B

i see ^_^ .. i had once had a bad experience.. :cry:
never dare again..

MasterQQ, that's Kinetic TRADE MARK, all Kinetic F-16 that I've built from DJ to Sufa are the same but can be done... We are modeler ma...

Kinetic plastic is damn hard... no imprint if u used flat type clip and don't slide... I've done it before with Sufa and DJ

mej®

looking good mr.b......so far for my acads viper no imprint left when i'm using the paper clip & clamp

keep us posted with your built ;)

Continued 28/9/09

Got the nose Intake done (minus the lip) with the rear undside area together with the nose cone in.........most of the clean up done..........still awaiting a final bath with hot water and soap..........rescribe some lines then onto masking and paint work

Mr b

By just looking at the WIP, I can tell that this will be another master pice of yours..

Airframe complete.........washed, primed and preshaded.........top side.......camo is also on..........and clear parts smoked......(the rear part was cracked in the box.......bad luck.......seams on the clear parts......sanded and polished out......bottom still not done........thats it for now.........
