Here are a few more with some radio work dones as well.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Wow less then 2 weeks and not even a fast build or anything. I guess this plane is not of much interest to anyone.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

I'll give you one. VERY FAST BUILD!!!

You built this faster than I do my ARF's

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Don does do some awesome and fast work. I can't wait to see 40,000 rivets on it. The red trim goes on wednesday and more shades of silver for panels.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Kevin who makes the wings tanks you're installing? They will give your Starfire a very aggressive look.
Looking forward to seeing photos of the finished model.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

They are Yellows F4 wing tanks. Don made the pylons. I agree I think they are going to look great.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Would Don make another set of pylons?

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Very nice Kevin. I agree with Bob, those tanks are a very nice additon!
Btw, why rivet it AFTER that paint?? Seems like it would damage the finish to burn them all in after the fact.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Promark rivets rub offs. They way we did it for years before arfs like this.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Kevin, I guess Don will finish the Starfire before I finish my Bae Hawk. I can't wait to see the final paint with rivets and lines.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

This is crazy how fast you are gettign this done. You have to be working on it full time or something. What kind of paint are you using. The silver and Black looks cool. Reminds me of a B-58 Hustler....especially with the drop tanks.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

I'm watching,. Super fast build. I would like to see the insides layed out in detail. Cheers.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

The paints are PPG shopline. Should have the red shot tommorrow with some more silver panels of a different shade.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Don's been busy. Paint and revits.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Also some panels in on the wing and hatch. Tanks installed and tray that fits on top of inlet.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Wow,

This is ridiculous. I've never seen work this fast that's this good.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Thanks Shaun,

Checking on pipe? Any idea when it will ship. Down to the last items on this one. Thanks

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Kevin what servos did you use for the wing?

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

I used Hitech 5245 digitals. I used them in my last Starfire and it was fine. I used the thin wing hitech digital in the elev mounted in stab.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Great Job Kevin. I am also building a Starfire and I have to say the kit is a joy to build because everything is cut so nice and assembles like a jigsaw puzzle. I am going to make it electric. I have seen this model with an electric Dynamax go over 200 mph and land at a very slow speed Great airplane that has great performance and does not cost an arm and leg. I will post some pics as soon it is painted.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Nice build and paint job Don! Kevin what does the underside look like? Will it be the same as top with addition of tanks?

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Just one pic of the bottom. You can see my hand and the servos door. Going to be mostly silver with lots of rivets on the bottom. Stripes on the wing tips and elevators and of course the underwing tanks with black nose on tanks

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Hi,

I checked in with Gary and he's out of bell-mouths. His supplier is out. Tam is out. Everyone is out. I have a NIB one for the same pipe that I'm putting in the mail and you'll have your pipe on Monday. Sorry it's taken this long :-(

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Thanks Shaun,

Getting to the end of this build. Ready for some flying.

RE: Yellow Starfire Build
 

Don did more rivet work and panel shading.
