Default Xtreme F16 1:6,75 building thread - 2 planes

Hi guys

I have received 2 F16 to start building. One is for me and will go with a P100 or P160 and the other is for a friend that will be ride by a 90RXi. Both with Futaba gear.

Strong points for this kit are
Outstanding paint job
Nice layup
Nice gear
Price/quality ratio

Points to improve
Fuel tanks don't fir (wainting for a reply from John)
Minor parts missing
Canopy fitting (in one plane)

Ok, let's start with some pics:
- Inside fuse painting
-Cockpit assembly
- Pneumatic install

Well the jet looks awesome but that pilot looks like a super villain dipped him in a batch of distortion elixir.

Hi

No, the problem is because the glass was not properly glued at the factory and the canopy fram and glass were twisted. Had to pull apart the glass and will be gluing a new one
