Bedside Viper
Test fit of the Aires ejection seat and the maimed pilot. And it's a go!
Some ruthless surgery needed to turn the mummified pilot into a nice guy
Main gear bay detail is basic but extremely accurate, so with a little help from reference pics adding extra detail goes fast. Starboard side.
Port side.

Bay wires and pipes would be better added at this stage, later there'll be no space to manipulate. Trying different approaches to make it look busy.
Finally I managed to finish the bays wiring. Detail brush painting will be next, along with the cockpit, before the fuselage can be glued together.
I used Eduard's PE set on the bays, plus some extra wiring.
I didn't like fhe PE wires included in the set, they look quite unnatural IMO.

Erik TorpI just finished one of these straight from the box. It will be interesting to see a one fully tricked out.

Turned the bedside table into a crash workbench, due to Covid infection. I decided to begin this F-16 from Tamiya and let the other "complicated" projects aside for a while.
