Sorry Barx2 for not replying as soon as i should have done, however i have been very busy and i did not want to reply until i could show more progress on both aircraft.
Next week or in 15 days i will move, not only from house or state or city but of country so my current life is a bit difficult in terms of aircraft making, i have time but not enought to show real progress on the next pictures, however i will show you some progress of the Lavi which probably will become another F-16 instead a Lavi as the title originally suggested.
The He-162 also has had little progress and i feel to some people, it will a bit disappointing because the seat is still in very little advanced state.
To answer your question yes indeed my models are made not with a computer made designed sheet but instead hand made and the only computer i have to make them is my brain, my eyes are my printer and i only use pictures to make them, i have many books so i know them well, besides to be honest i have made some many times some models my memory already knows them very well.
All my designs have the following sequence
First i make the seat, later the cockpit and later the canopy. once that is finished i continue by making the nose radome, the engines, inlets and wings and after i have that i start assembling them. later i just add taiplanes or canards and vertical fins either dorsal or ventral.
Last stage is always the engine nozzle paddles or feathers.
Next week i will show you more progress
