Making scale wing tanks for the F16

Peter Coers

Wingtank is ready now and I can start molding. The welding seams are all also in place now.

Peter Coers

Two more molds, tip launcer and station two launcer .

Peter Coers

And the high scale wingtank mold.

Peter Coers

Stuff for under the wings.



Some scale items.



Mother and doughter , mother will become a A version.



What a nice machine...

AndyAndrews

Such a masterpiece. Great looking work Peter.

Peter Coers

Thank you very much Andy .

Now I have made a PIDSU pylon which is almost ready for the F16. This one has flare/chaff boxes.

Did I miss it in an earlier post, but has this jet flown? Great project amigo

Peter Coers

No you did not miss it, still working on it.
Almost all the extra wing stuff is ready so after that I will finish the cockpit wit all its detailing.
Meanwhile working on a gear and when ready...... take off with the test F16 and flying it on the limiy to see how she holds 😆😆.

Peter your talent is awesome. Fun to watch the new things you create!! I ounce asked a friend with your kind of talent how he did it. He just said you have to cut away anything that doesn't look like the part your trying to make and there it is.

I laughed and said for you that's true for me impossible!!

Peter Coers

PIDSU is ready for molding..... finally.

A good friend of mine once said, "You never really finish a scale project, but you do eventually stop." Ha!

Great work, beautiful model. Thanks for sharing with us mere mortals.

Peter Coers

Some progres here.

OK Peter, time for you to fess up, this is not a thread on building a super scale f-16. This is about taking pictures of a full scale f-16 making it look like your building a model. General dynamics called,they want their plane back!

They also want their aeronautics division back, but they're not gonna get it.

Peter cant help but think it would have been so awesome to have the original Block 15 cockpit in there, pre-MLU. Something cool about having so many steam gauges on a digital era fighter. Plus......no one has done it.....yet. ;-)

As usual.....eternally a fan.

Peter Coers

Thanks Kelly and David.

I have new ACESII seats for the bird, 3d printed and are looking very nice. For info ask, ScaleDetails.se





And my mini nosegear actuator, need some work to make it work :-).

Peter Coers

I don't know if you guy's can see the video but this is were my friends are working on.... full scale working F35B!! It is 1:8 scale and still in testing mode but looks already awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLcssc2Zgk Don't know if this is visable for everyone but is is the frame flight test.

Peter have you flow the F-16 yet? I would hate to see all this detail got to waste on a bad maiden flight.
still cool to see the evolution

I think we may be all dead and buried before this thing even sees the light of day!!!

WOW,!! That was spectacular. Nice work on the F35B.

AndyAndrews

I bet he gets a working model before our government does.

Wow, awesome. The f35 flies the problem is not the plane but the electronics package. If you set tge goal high, the technology and hardware plays catch up. We could always lower our standards and expectations and be on par with everyone else

AndyAndrews

Really? I always thought the real problem was government beaurocracy.

Peter Coers

The F16BM has not flown yet but is expected to be this or next month, some delay caused by an other F16 . I will show a picture of this one of a kind one....

OMG that is going to be fantastic Peter. Can't wait to see finished product.
