wingman777 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Chris/Germany.....you are obviously a madman and a genius at the same time. Your modeling stands alone for technical depth, function and inspiration. You continue to scale new heights in this hobby and you seem to do it effortlessly. Yes, I'm heading up your fan club here in the U.S. This project looks incredible and I can't wait to see the rest of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris/Germany Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thanx mates, and thanx wingman ...........yes, this project is, although a technical challenge of extensive framework and details, a lot of fun so far...............seem to have a "good run" these days ´cause no major desasters happened at the work so far ( except the "overturned" first J-79............must have ben a "0-series-model" ) And although normally I´m a very, very impatient modeller I notice myself more and more thinking twice ´bout doing the next two or three steps in modelling this beast. Glad you like it..............eh.........wingman............should i come for a visit and an autograph-hour to the fanclub? thanx mates, cheers Chris "the ripper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris/Germany Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 short update: powerplant is installed, fixed on the inside ( where it´s not visible) with lots of simple silicone. This material is ideal for fixing heavy parts and also the powerplant is completely "embedded" which prevents the engine from giving eventual vibrations to the whole kit............although the "second edition" of the J-79 runs so smooth.............. I ´m seriously thinking ´bout adding a sound-module to make people notice that something is happening inside! The big part with the wiring is the middle-section wall which will be added soon.

bcauchi Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I keep on repeating myself but it is the truth. Your best work so far. I have no more words to describe. They ran out when you did the Tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
