I hate working with glass fibre. Did an x-wing game cruiser and after getting about 30 strands into place each side managed to drop a tool on it and break off half of them!
-
A little madness in detailing on the WAVE VF4... air wing maintanence petty officer flicking through the Preflight Checks after a hard night in the hangar. Managed to get some convincing writing into the pages of the SOP folder.
-
photos are up in the original VF-4 thread

It's pronounced cal e ber not cal e bra. -
I'e built one and working on 2 more, that section goes together fine with a small line of tamiya limonene extra thin and some clamping while it sets. ONLY PUT THE GLUE ON THAT FRONT SECTION OF THE NACELLE THOUGH AND NOT INTO THE SNAP FIT HOLLOW RODS... I've discovered the plastic deforms in the snap fit rod from the cement and can show a dimple on the nacelle surface. That join then needs I tiny bit of putty on the tip under the gun only. As it's a flat bit it's super easy to do and sand smooth. To get the decals in the correct place just follow the page from the Master File - which I will scan and post into the other vf4 thread already going here - as Wave doesn't show much at all for placement. Some decals are also optional like the two versions of the beam gun warning arrows

that's not the paint... that's the unreal resolution in the printing of these things
-
you need to glue and clamp that part, then the gap disappears

VF4 crew getting into uniform.

Maybe.... 3L to 3.5L

Near as I can tell... there is no red/black stripe on any hornet, super hornet or tomcat.
-
The death rattlers have a red diamond stripe
-
I'l check my collection. What one is the blue strip from that you have? I'm after a second set of black lions ones to do the unit 2IC plane

I'll post up the images of the 3 guys I have like that. That one with the ring binder SOP folder, another with a clipboard and the last leaning forward with a finger out depressing a button on the MFD. All sitting in the seat. They are taken from actual 3d scans of real deck crew members by the guy from REEDOAK.
-
Ahhh fair enough...
-
So... whats the ACTIVE referring to in the vf19?
-
Plane Capt (brown shirt) although I may switch him for a maintainer (GREEN SHIRT)
-
Yeah I'd have expected opening maintenance panels and positional control surfaces for that sized kit at that price. This seems more toy than museum scale model.
-
You should really sell that master on to return to kits form to preserve your work...
-
Needs touch ups, a few more decals, sealer coat, weathering and the refitting the engines and canopy. I missed the seams under the nacelle guns too
-
no, ill upset someone somewhere so I'll stick to either the Workbench thread or make a new thread for the build.
-
Do I know Anyone in Fort Walton Beach Florida?

You guys changed to that rule too huh? As long as you can pass the entry fitness test, you're in, age regardless -
HLJ has the vf4 for 4600 yen at the moment.
-
Until it's done I'll stick the rest of the build up photos n the work bench thread to avoid cluttering up this one.
-
Vfa-41 is next....

Red warning labels and black no steps all done. Now for the info labels.
