F16 Flyer - repaint needs immediate test build

[zot]

It measures out at 26". It prints the same size as the original.
That should be more than enough blue for the bottom. I just saw the cover over at papermodelers. It looks good. Could I persuade you to send me a copy of it?

Hi Dave & Scott,

This is the first I've seen this thread.

Was traveling and dealing with issues the summer you built this.

Part NC7 was not designed to be laminated, however, if laminating it helps, do it!

The intake is the hardest thing on this model. I put the little tick marks to help align the parts to stop the twist.

The intake/nosecone seams go as Scott did them.

Great build Scott, you have supplied the first photos of anyone building it! Thank you for taking the time to build and photo it.

Dave, great graphics!

Just so you know, from July 09 thru Jan 2010 I had no computer, just the library stop for 1-hour a day. I didn't have time to check on PM at all during that time.

Incredible surprise to see this thread.

Glad you figured it all out! Hopefully you had fun flying it!

I do have a newer version of the instructions showing an actual construction of the nosecone/intake broken down into steps.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer

Mike, this was actually one of the carry over threads from ecardmodels old forum.
All of the threads from that group have been migrated and integrated into PM.

This was of course the first test build of the repainted F-16...my first Bauer repaint!

We have gone bigger and better since that time (eh Mike?)
and theres more to come!

I am waiting to see your work, Mr. Dave.

This is an old thread Jack...the Thunderbirds F16 was finished quite some time ago,
but it is now awaiting a 'refit"

I would just like to update the packaging and bring it in line with all our other "paperstomprocket" models.
