Derek, that would be awesome! Give it a try! ☺

 

:hmmm: Hmmm...Just done some number crunching for an F-16C Block 50 aircraft (Data from the LM website):

 

W/S (Over launchers - no Sidewinders fitted):  787.416mm (1/12), 524.944mm (1/18), 393.708mm (1/24).

OAL:                                                                1252.250mm (1/12), 834.833mm (1/18), 626.125mm (1/24).

Height:                                                               424.166mm (1/12), 282.777mm (1/18), 212.083mm (1/24).

 

So it would be a heck of a monster in 1/12 scale (but still tempting). 1/18 scale is much more managable and is probably as large a scale as many would wish to go. 1/24 scale almost seems very small in comparison and is definitely a good size for such a project :)

Hi,

 

I am working on a jig for the cockpit area to form the side panels and for determing sizes, panellines, rivets etc.pp. I built it the same way as the center fuselage section: MDF frames and balsa blocks sanded to shape. The plug is covered with filler, once dried some fine sanding is due. I also consider a coat of epoxy to stabilize the balsa wood.

 

Happy Easter!
