Pete Fleischmann Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hmm, watch parts you say? I think you're on to something. I wonder if there are catalogues out there that stock these kinds of Hi Guy! eBay is the place! Search "tiny watch parts"...I bought a 10g bag of assorted tiny parts years ago, and it contains enough tiny parts to supply a modeler with a lifetimes-worth of really cool super detail parts- Cheers Pete D.B.

Pete Fleischmann Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hello all- Made some more progress here.. The ejector pin marks on the inside of the nose gear doors were impossible for me to sand away, so after butchering a hole at each locale, I filed away each opening and re-skinned the doors with sheet- The rest came together pretty easily.. ...This picture is kinda funny. In several grainy, black and white photos of bare metal IAF jets, you can see a tiny placard in the lower left corner of the inner-most gear door attached to the strut. I went digging through my spares box to find something suitable, and was very proud of the decal I selected- Looked just like what I needed...until I looked at the photo below and realized the placard is very readable in 32nd scale and is not in French or Hebrew.. Didn't have my glasses on when I looked at it the first time. I'm working on the more esoteric items for this build first..The supersonic tanks and R530 are up next- Cheers Pete Bill Cross, jgrease, Whitey and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Pete Terrific work on the gear and perhaps the stencil data you are going to need can be found on the Academy Sufa decal sheet by Cartograf. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add a couple of horizontal/diagonal strokes w/ black and and a couple of dots of white paint - there you go: Ersatz Hebrew. Beautiful work, Pete, love the attention to detail. Cheers, D.B.

geedubelyer Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Jeez Pete, you're killin' me! If you flew your Viper the way you build your models I'm guessing you were unbeatable. Just breathtaking stuff. That looks so good and in itty bitty 1/32nd scale to boot. Please keep it up, this is an education. Cheers.
