After kena Racun from BV and Mr B... I will build this one for VGB..


with AFV club ROCAF decal...something like this....


Man.. I exchange the Hase F-16A with this one from Mr B.. man ... a good deal? maybe not, because I do prefer the simpler Hase kit, this is way over engineering to me.. But those weapons sure a real good bonus for me...

This is where I am so far.. I already cursing Kinetik already.. Why are they design the ejectors like that.. the ejectors are not fully flush to the surface hence the plastic material flow into the ejector sleeve and created the tower on the plastic...this is hard to remove especially on the curve surface like intake trunk..

well... still long way to go...

Haha welcome to the club.........my fren.........welcome........the kinetic......club

Hope to see some progress..........soon

Mr B

mari sama sama build Viper, keep us updated

Thanks BV and Mr B for you racun.. and finally more update..


Removed the ugly ejector mark... err. not fully... some mark still visible, But I will let it go.. as it can't be seen from the intake viewing angle..

Painted with white base and follow with Gunze H1..

Next will join the 2 half together and fight the seam line along the join...Man...:angry:

Tom

Be sure to wash the spures.......the paint does not stick well otherwise

Good to see you taming the beast...........even 400 plus miles away I managed to get into this site........glad to see that you are moving fren

Aiyoooo.... one nasty seam line there.. the line is surrounded with so many rivets and panel lines... I think most of it will be lost when I get thro with the seam line..

Wet sand slowly.........then use nail polish remover and clean it up......should be ok.........judging from your photo......it could be that there is some access plastic....on the join.........is the hold fit with the locator on the bottom ?

Should be ok

Update time...

Cockpit tub done...


and glue it in place...gear bay done also.. not too much of an issue here..




I got big stap at the joint of nose cone to the body.. :angry: trying to solve it now..

Go Thomas, go!

Kinetic kits looks scary.....

Yes, very scary... :o :blink:

Looks like all the same problems I was faced with you are facing..........all I can say is that "YOU CAN DO IT"............how I repaired it was sand smooth........green putty with some super glue..........and wet sand..........

Best of Luck
Mr B

Thomas san..

you can do it.. :D

looking good from my eyes so far.. :D

kuman

wow, very fast build broo.. :D

nice one thomas, keep it coming

Gang...

Many thanks for your support.. but this is one hellova kit.. many goods and many bads..

Problem 1
Top Fuselage join, I think I could have miss align it during assembly, and resulted a huge step, after I putty and sanded smooth, most of the panel lines are gone..
scribing these line will be difficult, maybe I just leave it..


Problem 2
the 4 pieces nose joint is a nightmare... see for yourself.. putty and sanding this will not be enjoyable..



hope to get some hour on these problems during this weekend.
