LSP_Kevin Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Given that what you've posted hardly constitutes a build thread in the normal sense, I've moved this to LSP Discussion, where it more appropriately belongs. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I won't really comment of the quality of the build, other than to say I'm in a corer quietly crying to myself, looking at my poor attempt at a sufa! BUT I would stress one element of the build that I have experience of and that is the assembly of the wings and fuselage , the builder int he video follows the standard pattern of building the fuselage and then attaching completed wings .Having built 5 academy F-16s , hard won experience has led me to add the upper wings to the upper fuselage piece before any other Assembly begins, that way you can adjust the fit precisely , remove the tab on the lower wing piece , assemble the fuselage top and bottom pieces, and once dry , attach the lower wings , Voila, perfect fit . Incidentally the same trick eliminates any wing gaps on Tamiya F-15 kits as well! Just a small heads up to all of you who might be want to try a Sufa or other variations of Academy F-16s , great kits apart from intake woes, and Zacto/Scott have got you covered in that respect! colinR Cheetah11 and Kagemusha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
