yes Richard since the F-15 the cockpits have been desinged around the pilot instead of the plane.

Nigel.D · 14-10-2006

as it was fly by wire the stick was positioned to enable the pilot to have better control at high g loads And Rj do i not detect that the countermeasures suit is not correct for that particular aircraft lmao if i got that right seriously though love the burner can

chaff dispensers are located on the middle underwing hardpoint!

:P

or as on the f-16 im making they are on the underside between the front and rear horisontal stabalisers.

have done most of the p/e on the model that i can so far.

right now it is stuck together needing a bit of filling and waiting for a cote of paint to dry.

here are some pics of some of the p/e detail (including the chaf dispencers), the intake , the nose wheelbay door and the HUD cover.

well...here is what the intake looks like now with the wheel bay in and done (apart from the wheel and the door)

hope you like it so far.

Very nice, Richard. I am really enjoying how this build is coming together for you.

bin doing a bit more tonight.

have done the 370 gallon fuel tanks. i had to remove the CCIP update set as my filling job was crap so put the original back and will use p/e to make the antenna/bird slicers. got to spray the underside and do a few touch ups later.

here are some pics of the fuel tank and what the bird looks like at the moment.

just a few pics here. thought i would get the lower stabalisers and the vertical stabaliser out the way. mainly did the vertical one as i knew the two large decals would be a pain, so i trimmed all the excess carrier film off and put them on over a cote of Johnsons, waited for them to dry, another cote of johnsons, then the belgium flag and registration no. followed by a final cote of johnsons.

i went to paint the underside last night and ran out of paint half way through....typical. so that will have to wait another week to get the paint in.

I will finish off the top side in the mean time. more pics later!
