There is absolutely no way I could bring myself to do all that masking. I would end up in the loony bin. But it was a real treat to see it done. Wonderful build. Extremely well done!

Delighted to see Derek. Figures seem to be a vanishing breed in many kits today, though Tamiya's sculpting is top notch.

@liamcorcoran8575 Жыл бұрын

You aircraft terminology in the video was pretty on point. Only things that were off was the anti static dischargers and the stabilators. (Stabilator is the combined control where the elevator and horizontal stabiliser move as one unit common thing on modern fighter jets. Increases the surface area of the control surface while reducing drag and keeping the aircraft stable) Really cool video might have to look at making this kit myself.

Thank you so much for confirming! Need to probably do a little more research next time! I can’t recommend the kit enough it was such a joy (not the masking though🤣)

@richmagoni6262 Жыл бұрын

Excellent Viper! For future F-16 builds...the LEFs (leading edge flaps) do not "droop" like the flaperons and horizontal stabilators do when hydraulic pressure is depleted. When on the ground, the LEFs should be at the 2 degrees up position. I wish Tamiya provided a bit more info regarding proper flight control positioning in the instructions.

No, that part is called the seat support, that long rod in the middle is actually the rocket motor, which drives the seat out the cockpit

@wizbears Жыл бұрын

You have it correct. They are called the ejection seat guide rails. The center "rod" is the ejection seat catapult rocket. It is responsible for launching the seat out of the aircraft. Underneath the seat is another rocket that keeps the seat straight. I worked F-16s for 15 years and my main job was an egress systems technician. The tail flash on this model was my first duty station. Awesome job on the model by the way.

Simply gorgeous! Is this an older kit? Only reason I'm asking it that I am about finished with my 1st ever 1/32 aircraft from Tamiya (having done a few dozen of their kits in 1/48) and I had no fitment issues or seams and gaps to deal with. The precision of the 1/32 F4U-1A is off the charts good. Some parts fit so precisely and tightly that they almost snap into position on their own. Once or twice I had parts that would not fit because the mating surfaces had airbrushed paint on them, sheesh!

Great job! Outstanding really. You picked one of the hardest camo schemes and it came off well. I can only imagine the pain you went through while masking. I suffer from ADHD and once did a digital camo (with masks) I had to do it in 3 stages of each about 10 days, with months in between. I nearly lost my mind. Masking has always been the hardest and most hated thing to do for me in scale modelling. I love the hobby and I don't feel stressed while painting or assembling parts, it's just the masking that tests me to the fullest :) Thanks for sharing your projects, the finished models look great on your channel! I wonder how the camo pattern was done on the real jet, also by painting or by vinyl wrapping? My guess is they plotted it on a large plotting machine and then vinyl wrapped the hex-camo on the jet. Probably quicker than masking and painting it. What do you think?

@machmodels 9 ай бұрын

Thank you very much! I think I have to agree with you, the sheer amount of masking on that bird was just mind bogglingly annoying in the end. But my mentality for modelling is trying to push myself in a different area for each build. In regard to the real jet, I weirdly think they would’ve masked it off and painted it. I feel like using that amount of vinyl might’ve potentially affected the airflow over the surface? I might be speaking out of my bum there but who knows!! Thank you very much for the comment and I hope you enjoy the rest of the content🤙🏻❤️

Well if there is a lot of paint in the way of parts i’ll just use either some sandpaper of my scalpel to gently scrape away the paint.
