My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Hi everyone, this is my project I am working on.
It is made from the original drawings of the F16. It will become the J-066 Orange Jumper from the Netherlands.

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...-1-op-5-a.html

I have to find out how to place some pictures here.

Greets,
Peter

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Peter - this looks GREAT! Just use the blue text lines on the bottom of the editing box here to upload pictures,
I'm sure everyone will be as impressed as I am about your F-16! Will you make a kit or ARF of this plane??:D

Good luck!
Tor

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Thanx Tor. Eh Interested? :D

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Very nice work, thanks for sharing the construction link.

It would been very nice and different to see a big twin place F-16, but the orange painting is really a nice one.. either way it will be a great looking model.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Some great detailing going into this model! I'm trying to remember the scheme of the two seater when the Dutch F16 display team came to my home base at Yeovilton. Only have this pic of the single seater - best colour scheme for a F16 ever! Very glad to be able to have a beer in the bar with the display pilot after his practice!! He got a little close to the hard stuff!!

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Impressive..very impressive! long waited to see a 'B' radio model.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Very nice build! It's always interesting to follow a true scratch build from the ground up. Yahoo Bable Fish is not the greatest translator, but you can follow your steps, please post more updates over here.

Very nice CAD work BTW!

Oh yes - if you make more of them, I would be interested!! :D

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Perhaps a whole squadron of B's. ;)

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

I have a little update.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Again a update on our Dutch Forum.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Finally I succeeded to place some pictures[sm=biggrin.gif]
There is not much progress at the moment because I have a burn-out. But in time it will be finished.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Cut out the rudder and finished it with aluminnium, details of rivets is the next step.

Rudder asembeld.

Here a few of them...... finishing the dragshute housing with aluminium.

Here are the engine fumes escaping through.

In the model this will be cut out.

And the A/R light on the front off the tail.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Hello Peter,

Are you covering the plane with aluminium tape or litho aluminum? If a tape is being used what thickness is it?

Outstanding work indeed!

Reuben

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Hi Reuben,

Thanx,

Only a few panels on the dragshute housing and the front of the dorsal vin are tape with 0.1 mm thickness and the rest is all litho aluminnium 0.25mm.

Greets,
Peter

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Excellent work Peter, I always admire guy's that can do this type of work

Dave

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Looking really good Peter. However, it will be very difficult and time consuming to mould the thin static dispensers. If you want to be able to unmould them at release during the production process, you'll need to make them out of a thin carbon row and then embed them across the moulding plan without air bubbles. Possible but very time consuming and as you want to work fast during the moulding process...
I'd recommend you to mould these thin additional details separately and add them at a later stage.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Hi Oli, thanks for the complement.
About the tiny parts, I had already in mind to mold them separately because as you say it takes to much time and it is difficult. Thanks anyway for the advice.
I will make forms in silicone rubber of all the tiny parts.

Greets,
Peter

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

This time no pictures of alu panels but I had to do some little thing on the cockpit.

The gap between cp and fuselage.

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...9295-q-004.jpg

Here it is filled out with epoxy filler.

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...e59297-002.jpg

Also removed the after section of the cp to get less obsticals in the mold. For later it is also possible to create a F16 A version.

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...e59298-001.jpg

Filled the hole with epoxy filler but needs a few times extra filling to get the right shape.

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...e59299-003.jpg

Next step is to visit the big brother for info about the hinge point of the canopy.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Made some bulkheads for the A version F16. This canopy will become a extra mold.

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...e59469-002.jpg

http://www.modelbouwforum.nl/forums/...e59471-004.jpg

Would be a nice picture having both versions on the strip.

Man.. love the panel work.. She's gonna be a masterpiece.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Holy mackerel! That is OUTSTANDING! More pics of the progress please and lets know if you have any plans of producing to sell.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Started with placing all the importand panellines with a cross-laser on the underside of the plug. Every detail is checked on the big one and will be placed on the model.

RE: My scale 1/5 F-16 B

Peter,

I'm also building a 1/5th scale model of an SU-34.
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10367121/tm.htm

Your model is looking great. Is about time a B/D model is being built. Would love to stay in touch and get some advice from you.
heres my personal email: [email protected]

Cheers,
Joe
