Kagemusha Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Is that some insider knowledge Andy, or are you just putting forth a "best-guess"? It's been officially announced https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/K3210 should get you all the way to the version you want to do, I think... http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=55027 Edited November 25, 2015 by Kagemusha Zero77 and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi thank you all for your encouragements , that's great !!!! As Nicolas said , i chose the hard way , but I can't do otherwise ......for now @ E Gallier : you show us the way through your build , what can I do better ??? well today , the engraving of the wings : it's the same work , nothing special to say , be patient .... I have engraved to much panels on the upper wing , I have to fill and sand them ( wrong drawing) Isracast provide the wheel bays , they are nicely cast , these parts bring a real upgrade to the Revell part because this area is flat as a desert . But , more improvements "must" be done : wires, tubes, etc must be added , as the main door actuator too.... the Revell bays have been removed . the good location of the resin part on the wing is rather ......random .....will see the navigation lights are cut into clear plastic card . PE part is provided for the upper wing light .. nice !!! here is the elevon actuator fairing ...... greeeat ... the outer resin pylon/ fairing is far better here are the half wings glued together .... let's care now to the most boring step .....the fuselage ..... thank you for your interest to be continued Alain Starfighter, Daniel Leduc, Menelaos and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Wings and bays look fantastic, Alain. I don't see how the fuselage could possibly be "boring", especially with this kind of treatment! John Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi Wings and bays look fantastic, Alain. I don't see how the fuselage could possibly be "boring", especially with this kind of treatment! John Hi engraving this fuselage is boring , time consuming etc......, I should need 3 hands , one to hold the fuselage firmly , a second one the rule , and a third one the engraving knife ......a bit of work is to come ........thank you mate Alain Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great start on a great project! I did the same thing a few years back. I had to scratch everything, didn't have the conversation set. Quite a fulfilling project, biggest challenge for me was the markings. Had to cobble decals from many sources. When the new kit comes out I think I will build another. First one got trashed when I moved a few years back. Anyway I will watch this build with interest. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hi Dan This won't come true without the isracast set , I am not enough skillful to scratch built everything as you did , it's a loooong term project , and thanks to this set , I hope I will manage it....Thank you for watching Looks great Alain, the scribing is very neat and the wiring work in the bays is great too. Well done! Jim hi Thank you Jim I try to do my best , even if it's not perfect Did the American Kfirs have the dogtooth wing? Yes a slight one http://media.defenceindustrydaily.com/images/AIR_Kfir_C2_ATAC_9oc_Tipped_lg.jpg Hi Danny it's not really the dogtooth as we can see on Kfir C2/7 , The F21 version was the early version of the Kfir , a C1 . If you refer to the ATAC AC , this kfir is a C2 , it's easy to compare the two versions in a glimpse : dogtooth on the wing , and long "canard"control surfaces on the air intakes ...hope I have been understood thank you for watching mate Alain ATAC kfir C2 .F21 "Lion" Edited November 26, 2015 by alain11 Menelaos, Vandy 1 VX 4, Zero77 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 yes both are American Kfirs but ATEC version I believe is from one of South American countries. love to do one of the u.s. aggressors but it gets confusing what what is what alain11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've seen in a modelling magazin images of a danish modeller holding Revells S-100 fast attack ship during construction with his feet... Just saying. ... What's your tool and trick for rivetting? And how do you fill misfitted rivet holes? I've tried Trumpies rivetting wheel, Radubs "punch", needles in a grip, small drills; for alignment tape, templates, rulers, pencil lines, any kind of stuff; but my rivet lines still crisscrossing allaround and showing uneven rivet spacing too...
