HAS F-16F - Flying the Friendly Skies - Complete

Projekt: Hasegawa F-16F Block 60
38 11 February, 21:10

Welcome Christian \, Nathan! Lots of F-q6 builds going on at the moment, so I hope to do this one justice!
@Christian - I absolutely love your Su-30 eggplant build!
@Nathan - following your Ukrainian F-16 build with interest - already used your resin drop tanks to improve my bare bones drop tanks! 😀
18 February, 16:40

Those ResKit drop tanks look great when attached. Your build is looking excellent.
18 February, 17:05

Thanks Nathan! It's coming along too slowly for me, but should be done this weekend. 😀
21 February, 16:44

Thanks Gorby! Interesting scratch building you have going on your workbench!
1 26 February, 21:31

Excellent work Capt! This is giving me the inspiration to finish my F-16s.
26 February, 23:27

Thanks Dave/ Nathan and Rui!
@Nathan - looking forward to seeing your F-16 builds!
@Rui, your dioramas and recent sdkfz always inspire me!
27 February, 15:06

Thanks for your words mate. My sdkfz it's not recent but the sand dune base for it is.
One day I'm going to do a propeller plane and I'm hopping that it will be as good looking as your birds 😉

Final upload of the finished product. Lighting not the best, we'll have to look into that later.
I chose the Arizona markings for Luke Air Force Base in part homage to Desert Marlin and Max Afterburner, Arizonans who motivated me with their aircraft builds over the years.
27 February, 19:00

Thanks Gary!
Neuling, I thought long and hard about weathering this bird up a lot, but opted against rain weathering, since it doesn't rain at all in Arizona! The sun bleaching didn't turn out as striking as I would have wanted after the gloss and Matt coating - but there's always the next kit! 😜

Thanks Paul! Outside of the F-4 Vietnam camo pattern, I think the Suva's color scheme is probably the most recognizable pattern out there!

SlowButDeadly, thanks for the rating. Overall the kit assembles very well. Zvezda tried. But I used rivet sets. Resin landing gear wheels and propeller spinner.

Thanks Dave! Well, what to say about the build ... my example was bent in all directions and partly still is. To build a decent Mi-8 or Mi-17 you should go for a different kit, but as a project to practice carving, filling and sanding it is a nice kit. Helis are not my cup of tea, but in a group build in memoriam to a fellow modeller it was a nice experience.

Dear fellow modellers!
Please note that I will be away from my home between Mai 2 and 15, 2025. Hence, I can only answer your queries thereafter. I am asking for your kind understanding. I will revert to you, anyway. Promised!
Happy modelling - Andreas

the window are manually lifted, sorry - you lift up the gull-wing door, and that reveals the bottom cog which you can wind with your finger

Does that window also roll up and down?! That's truly sick! Watching!

Wow! That's huge! Does it have all the functionalities of the original? 😄

Yeah, everything except the 88mph & time travel bits!!! 🙂
it certainly has the weight, around 7kg at the moment!

WOW! I'm amazed at how you make the scene so realistic. Your attention to detail is remarkable.
1 25 February, 07:11

This diorama is mind blowing. Literally thought it was a photo of a real scene at first. Thanks for shar8ng, fabulous example of model making art.
1 25 February, 07:16

Beautifully done diorama and very nice photos. Wonderful! Just the way Neuling does it so well! 👏👏👏
1 25 February, 07:40

Another dio with all the qualities we came to cherish from you. Again a treat.
27 February, 13:28

I just don't know how you do it - building such perfect pieces, laying them out on a beautifully haunting setting and arranging everything to tell a story is simply astounding! ❤️❤️❤️
1 1 March, 16:11

Awesome diorama and great setting. With thr background it adds a certain level of realism!
14 March, 04:26

It's all been said before but great storytelling diorama and the builds are excellent 👍
14 March, 07:56

The film camera effect makes it look like a war correspondent's photo. Nice work!
15 March, 06:08

Mine your step...! 🙂 Great scene again Neuling with your usual high build quality. I like the rubble.

Thanks! For the record, nozzles will most likely be repainted. I'm not pleased with the result

Thanks to that, it was possible to easily pierce the center even though it was a cylindrical shape with a slanted end. :)

I'm here too. "It is expected to be a pure assembly with little modification" 🤔 whatever it means when you're building 😉
25 April, 10:06

oh that's really cool work you did with the aluminum rod, what did you use as a chisel?
29 April, 08:23

@Matteo - What you see in the photo is a lathe blade.
At first I used a lathe blade, but I don't know if it's because the aluminum is so soft, but it doesn't cut sharp 🙁
So, unlike in the photo, I carved with a diamond file, cut with an art knife, and polished with sandpaper.
I would like to recommend Oilstone.

Most of the kit assembled. No locating pins, so dead reckoning called for. The bane of my life too, photo etch.
Projekt: Marcel Bloch MB.151 C.1
16 27 April, 19:46

Looking good, forge ahead. Funny, I can and have used tons of photoetch on ships without any issues. Outside of seat harnesses I have no desire to add or use PE on aircraft. Most if not all of it is hidden or not that much better than the kit part. Just my humble opinion 😄
27 April, 21:11

I hate photo etch with a passion Nick. I would rather use the kit part, like yourself than photo etch. If I can get hold of fabric set's of seatbelts I use them. Or mock them up with masking tape. Thank you for the compliment too. 🤟🥸🤘

Although it looks like a rolling coffin, Zsolt started a great party with it! The modulation looks very convincing.

The Buckeye is probably not one of the most elegant aircraft, but I still enjoy watching your build progress. I'm looking forward to the finished model and hope you enjoy it until then Johannes.
1 4 April, 13:26

nice build does that say "irish men make good pilots always in the air about something " lol
27 April, 19:38

Thanks for yopur comments mates!
@Stefan: I agree with you. I think that's why I've always been fascinated by Navy aircraft; they often prioritize function over form. The results aren't exactly beautiful, but they are certainly eye-catching.
@Gary: Yes, exactly. I chuckled when I saw it, too.
28 April, 19:56

Very well done 👍 Nothing to see of those fit issues at the end! The light mirror effect on the glass creates a good photo.

The Castafiore Emerald - The Supercolor-Tryphonar
1:72
Scratchbuilt
14 25 April, 15:50

So here's an interesting Tintin project I've been working on for a while now. The hardest part was getting the electronics to work. After beating an ESP32 microcontroller into submission I was finally able to get my tiny screen to display the video/audio clip I trimmed from the Tintin animated series. With that success, I moved on to 3D design of the awesome Professor Calculus invention, The Supercolor-Tryphonar (as seen in the Castafiore Emerald album). Next up... 3D printing and assembly.
In the meantime, here's the proof-of-concept video...

Thanks guys! First batch of files just came off the 3D printer. Will need to make a couple of adjustments to the screen size, but it's looking good so far. Also, I knew the steel bar supports were going to be too small to print properly (they warp while they dry), but I've got a bit of metal screen that I can cut into strips. Hopefully will look better and actually support the thing.
1 26 April, 19:25

Ok, so all the main pieces are off the 3D printer and I've cut the metal sheet into the straightest strips I could manage. It was quite difficult to bend it tightly along a single line. Much thicker than a regular PE part, but hopefully will look the part.
I had a lot of difficulty getting the electronics to work. I followed another maker's project (there are several versions of the ESP32 Mini TV projects on YouTube), but it was both a hardware problem because none of them seemed to wire up the screen's backlight, but until I did, I had not even a flicker. It was also a software problem because the library code was out of date, so I needed to go backwards to make it compatible, which led to other problems. Anyway, I vowed to use my Easter long weekend to either solve it for good, or give up forever (yeah, right!). After sourcing each of the issues one by one, I finally got it to work. Next is the assembly!
1 28 April, 04:05

Welcome to the show everyone!
First round of painting is done. After drilling out slots for both the USB power hookup and the microSD card slot, I also used some of the leftover MDF planks from my Unicorn project to add a bit of thickness to the base.
