One model per (non-working) day

I tried to make sufficient pictures to show the important steps in the build (not all of course).

picture 1: when scoring, score the top wing from its point to the back as shown
picture 2: do not score the tab with the purple dot on the intake. all other tabs and lines should be scored on this part
picture 3: When cutting the four wing parts cut from the trailing edge towards the point indicated in the picture.
picture 4: glue the extra tab part (the only one completely in pink lines) into the fuselage part as shown and cut tabs
picture 5: Bend and glue the intake as shown. give it a smiling appearance
picture 6: insert the extra part (missing in early models but added in this post) inside the intake
picture 7: build the fuselage from exhaust to nose taking care that the nose has a slight downward inclination
picture 8: add the intake and the canopy
picture 9: start gluing the wing from the back by attaching the intermediate part to the upper wing. align the two lines in the middle of the parts. Then do the same with the lower wing. Note that the wing trailing edges join.
picture 10: continue gluing both wings together working your way forward.
picture 11: when gluing the extended tip of the wing together, give it a slight downward bend and make sure the inner edges (those that will be attached to the fuselage) are not glued together.
picture 12: attach the wing to the fuselage starting with the tip. This should be positioned at the V-shaped mark on the nose's side
picture 13: Make sure the wings, stabilizers and vanes have the correct inclination
picture 14 to 16: and the family will grow.


Apart from that I try to finish a F-16D block 52+ with spine and conformal tanks in a nice livery today.
A light day today

Your design is currently making a priority~

Hey Bruno I love to build your models, but I also have trouble figuring out where some pieces go sometimes. Could you find some way to convert the pdfs to pepakura files so as to give instructions

I don't think that will be possible, since these are not in 3d formats. I look at photos of the real plane and build the model. To me it's like matching a puzzle, but even more exciting.

Tell me what model you have trouble with, and I'll try my best to help you.

For those looking for the 1/300 scale models, here is a little explanation how to get there.
I did not list the models. there are over 650 models from yours truly and many others from the "recolor guys". (ok, we'll need a better name)

Thank you Bruno! Btw your F-16 aggressor, tiger meet f-104, and grey camo harrier all build great at 1/200

Show us some pictures, please.

I added two more F-16s to my list.
Now I start to feel the need for some change... again.

Dear Bruno and Administrator:
When I click in the attachment (clip icon) the window that opens is a description of the smiley list.
Is this a bug, my computer, what?
Thank you.
