I recently recieved my F-100 from Dreamworks RC.
The detail on this model is just incredible, I'm talking about EVERY rivet, panel line,inspection plate and even multi-layered detail.
I have never seen another model yet an ARTF model with this level of detail, it's just superb!!
The photo CD that came with the kit is outstanding with hundreds of images to guide you through every phase of assembly and scale details on the model. The quality of moulding are top notch, very lite in weight and all of the formers are pre-installed too.
I have traded emails with Ilja of grumania and have always recieved a prompt response.
This is going to be quite a treat to build and fly.
Bob

ps. I will post a few photos of the model soon

What motor do you plan on using ??

V..

I will be using the Wren 44 Gold edition a very nice motor indeed!

How about some pictures Bob!~)>

Joe,
I don't think my small digital camera will do justice to the quality. I have some free time this afternoon and will take few shots.
I forgot to mention that the production model is 260 grams lighter than sample model that George has started a build thread on.
That means more bombs and ordinance can be added

Now your not going to sell this one or send it back,are you? Glad to see you have a fossil burning plane again.You have about 5 weeks to get it ready for HOH.Hopefully this one will ROG and you won't need the bungee

Busting my ***** already Kerr?

I sure plan on having it ready to fly by then. I think I can! I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!

Good deal Bob. Work has kept me away from completing mine. Hopefully I'll have mine done before you [].

Post those pics when you start.

George

I think you can too Bob.We don't expect to see you out of your work shop till its done.At least bring what you have done to HOH so we can drool on it.

Bob,

Congrats and the purchase! It should be a cool combination.....Now, as soon as you maiden it start building a shipping box for Desert Jet Storm!..............I have about 1/2 gallon of jet-A lying around that should last the whole rally with the Wren!

Tailwinds,

John

Already had that in mind John!

I started work on the F-100 and I want to mention the tool I found.

www.Micromark.com offers a saw blade that fits the exacto knife handle, part# 14346 is a .010 thick x 40 teeth per inch
saw blade that is perfect for cutting the gear doors and other openings and it allows the thinest gaps between parts.
At $2.60 per pack of two it is a cheap investment. I highly recommend them.

So what work has been done? All the gear doors have been cut and I have opened all of the scale holes in the fuseage.
I've checked the fit between the front and aft fuse section and it is perfect. The wing tube reinforcements have been glued in place and the stab cross shaft formers have been glued in place too.

As I open the various scale openings the model is really coming to life!

Pictures, Bob....................................

Bob,I guess you can't afford batteries for your camera to take pictures so we can admire your expertise.

heck no, ! he uses all his batteries to power his jets

C'mon Electro Bobby Blue Angel Boyeeee........... I wanna see some pics!!! I got my Popcorn ready and my bottle of milk warmed up and me wanna see some pics Daddy! Why you make me wait loooooooong time?

Ok Frosty here is the start of photos. Since you would'nt let me fly blue I had to get my own project.

Take a close look at the gear door cutouts and notice how thin the cut line is. I used a .010 x 40 teeth per inch that is available from
www.micromark.com part # 14346. It is the shape of a #11 exacto blade. I highly recommend them.

I tried to capture the surface detail that the model features I think you'll be impressed.
The model splits at the scale position and you can see the scale cooling air inlet that I have opened.

This is a really nice model!

Daaaaaang Son that's tight! I thought my Nitro BobCat was lookin pretty sweet but you got it goin on! Now.......................get that sweet thing done for HOH so we can drag race! Seriously.........................it looks very nice! What color scheme have you decided on?

Pretty Penny is the color scheme it will be finished in.
I thought you would like it!

Quit jackin around here on RCU and GIT ER DONE!

i'm sure you 'll do it up nice.
looks first rate- just needs to be 3 sizes larger for my bad eyes and little n_ts !

[]Alas, another sheep has left the fold, what are we to do now? Let us pray for brother Bob to find his way home back to the temple of BVM.

You have fallen away from thy first Love(BVM) and have lusted after the the Chinese evil one come to lead you astray.

Come back Electro Bob before the Great Bob of the BVM finds out. We don't want to see his wrath again this year after what he rained down on the Kerr's last year now they see the Light and have returned back to the BVM.

Come home my brother, sell that evil devil and all will be forgiven after we recieve your credit card numbers.

Monk

"have lusted after the the Chinese evil one "

That's ironic, since this kit is one of the very few to be produced in Europe rather than the Far East.
