    Saying that.. i would love to see the photo you have of the can and tape measure... the 'offset dia' shown in the notes ( this is the section that joins the main engine to the afterburner is approx 44" that would make the end of the can nearest the engine larger than the 39" outlet as can be seen when looking at the cans... im trying to get accurate dims....

    Here you go

    Thanks chaps,

    I am waiting for the new canopy set. When it arrives I will perform the last push to finish this satisfying (and sometimes demanding) project. Hopefully before Anthony finished his:D

    Hahaha....shouldnt be too difficult mate!

    I have seen snails overtake me on my builds!  I have some canopies coming too, so pleased he Ali did them!

    Only staged,  nothing glued yet. I switched the grey Sprue instead of the green because its softer and easier to sand. Olso found some thinner card for the base plates. What is your opinions?......harv

    Looks great Harv

    Although I dont know much about F-16's, they are one of my favorite jets.  I had to do a google to see how what you made compares with photos and I think you have actually done a really really great job capturing the shape and size.  Only one thing after looking at photos I might suggest, is thinning the mounting plate down a little.  Not a criticism at all, just a genuine response to your question.

    Otherwise bravo buddy....great job!  I will enjoy following along....and try to resist buying a kit, I got my own Phantom to finish first!

    Cheers Anthony

  5. Well from where I am sitting it looks pretty darn awesome....errrrr I mean, no it doesn't.  Give in and send it to me...

    Seriously though mate, we dont see your struggles, only the results of your struggles.  She really looks the part now with the tailplanes and decals on.  You are nailing it buddy.  Dont give in just yet, wait until the clearcoat is on and it's on your shelf...then give in!

    Or send it to me...either way is a good outcome

  6. Oh right....I trying to see what you didnt see coming and couldnt figure it out.

    I would trim the missiles down or put the blue ballast ones in the front wells only.  From what I understand they were only ever fitted if no missiles were carried on the belly at all.  I could have gotten that wrong of course as I havent got to this point in mine yet.  But trim them down would be the best option at this point.

    I never saw that coming either!
