Marc A.
Yeahh Let´s go see good stuff.. make it happen!!, mate

Holger Kranich
Yihaaaaw, in ten days it goes on the modeling road and then i have a week to finish it! Modeling with mates from dusk till dawn and vice versa!

Es-haq Khosravi
I wish I could be there Holger! Good luck! 🙂

Kerry COX
Great fun mate. Half your luck 🙂

Augie
Nice choice holly 🙂

Günther Debiscop
looking forward....

Mike Kryza
I count the days!!! 🙂

Clifford Keesler
I'm in,oh yea.

Vorya hidaryan
Nice project i'm in😉

Holger Kranich
Oh i see, i have the greatest audience, i could dream of!😄
On monday i received the Gunze coloures, as introduced in the instructions for the desert camo on the boxart. But the bright sand tone definately doesnt looks like the one on the boxart... I hope, i dont have to mix it up to make it look like...

What would you you say? Is a loadout with tanks and bombs unrealistic for such a agressor Viper?

Kerry COX
Have you researched any of the images from Google yet on the bird and squadron yet Holger. ?

flickr.com/groups/f-16/

There are 200 pages of images of just the F-16 there. 🙂

Stephan Ryll
Hi Holger, here is a typical loadout AIM-9 M or AIM-9X and a ALQ-188 jamming pod may some will carry tanks

Holger Kranich
Hi guys!
By now, i saw them only in dogfight configuration. But i was wondering if they may flew/train bomb raids, too!

Holger Kranich
Thank you both for this excellent links!

Holger Kranich
Hi Mikey!
Thats what Eduard wrote in their instructions, too! But i wonder why they never have been upgraded to C´s or so?

Holger Kranich
Oh that helps a lot!!! I think i have X57 at home! The other coloures, eduard suggested, looks as they will match fine. Maybe i give me a testspray this evening!

Do you have a good hint how to make a tinted canopy?

Ingmar Stöhr
I guess I won't finish anything during the week at Wangerooge, because I'll be watching Holger all the time! Beautiful subject!!!

Christian Ristits
Hello Holger, also have this kit in my stash, I think I will build the Edwards AFB Version. I am curious about the fitting, as the main fuselage looks a little bit complicated to build...Cheers, Christian

Holger Kranich
Ingmar, lets sit together! So wie can watch us during our builds 🙂
@ Christian, I'm curious too! The more i read the instruction sheet, the more i hope that putty wont be needed...
@ Bernd, thanks a lot, dude!;)

Dirk Heyer
It is the Kinetic kit.
Cheers Dirk

Holger Kranich
Yep, it is the Kinetic kit, but what means TLC.🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
I would translate it to Tamiya Liquid Cement. Or maybe Thin Liquid Cement

Holger Kranich
That might be the right translation, it makes sense😢

I have to admit, i have no experiences with Kinetic kits, I have a Wingman rebox of their Alpha Jet but i never build one of ´em!😢

Holger Kranich
Oh i will save "TLC" in my thesaurus! So it all about a good dryfit? Sounds managable to me!😢

Günther Debiscop
Holger: tinted canopy hint: use future with a bit of coloring and voila, you have a tinted canopy.

Here's a link describing the procedure: arcair.com/tnt1/001-..Canopies-Gok/00.shtm

PS: don't be wondered if the nose of your F-16 looks like drooping down... That's one of the mistakes Kinetic made on their F-16's.

Holger Kranich
"NOSE LOOKS LIKE DROPPING DOWN?"
Günther i hope you are kidding me!!! I nearly got a cardiac arrest!!!😢😢

Thanks for the hint and the link. But it seems as my F-16 doesnt had a tinted canopy. So i dont need to worrie about it!🙂

Günther Debiscop
Holger, I'm not kidding you in regards of the nose:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/624633/thread/1241140282/Kinetic+F-16+Shape+Problems-

However, they luckily corrected the issue with their latest releases 🙂

it now all depends an which "version" Eduard has used for this reboxing....

I've got ot myself, but didn't have the chance yet to check it out...

Kerry COX
Have you ever heard of Mercurochrome. ?

It is the stuff you wipe on a cut that has a golden brown colour, and diluted in alcohol, it takes on the same colour as Tamiya clear yellow and can be diluted to the desired 'tint' you are looking for.

You can buy it at any chemist store and is also called 'iodine'.

It is in fact a disinfectant.

Kerry COX
I have learned to adapt and overcome when a situation arises that can be solved in other ways that are not always "Hobby Related", like using acetone (which you will never see recommended in any instructions), as all kinds of things are used by creative and inventive modellers when confronted by a 'situation'.

Just because it is used in the medical field, it should not 'exclude' as such.

I use scalpel blades instead of "Hobby" blades because I get better results, so does that mean they are not "Hobby related". ?

I suggested using Mercurochrome because I have used it before to tint some clear parts and it has worked well and can be polished without loosing any coverage.

I have also found that when the Tamiya clear paints are diluted with alcohol, it starts to get small particals form that makes it look 'grainy' and to overcome that problem, I looked at other products that would not be affected that way, and I tried Mercurochrome, as I had just cut my finger and had used some in the water I washed the cut in and it was something I tried, and it turned out ok. !

I hope that eases your concern Mike. 🙂

Kerry COX
I am not being defensive, I just like you to know your informed. blah blah blah. :-/

Rui S
I totally agree with your first paragrph Kerry.

Kim Branders
👍

Es-haq Khosravi
Good luck mates! 🙂

Kerry COX

Dirk Heyer

Herzlichen Dank Jungs! Wir haben jetzt schon unglaublich viel Spaß! Es gilt zwar auch ein paar Klippen zu umschiffen aber dafür sind wir ja Modellbauer!😢 und nein Lemmy, Frank sieht einfach immer so aus!😄

Kerry COX
Problems ??? What are you saying Holger.? Ha Ha Ha, was there not enough beer ? 🙂

Augie

Holger Kranich
The pe pinger was a wittnes, just as me, at the Wedding of Mike and Marina! It was a great Moment!

Augie

Holger Kranich
Augie, for sure i´ll pass your greetings to them!😄
Guys, the marriage was really a singular moment! We sat at the bench, went to the marriage, ate something together and went back to bench again! That was indeed a modellers delight at its best!😄😄

Fabian D.
Best whishes to the both of them!
Just one question: Jever lime? Shouldn´t that be banned according to the Geneva Convention? 😛😉

Holger Kranich
Fabian, i had it around 1200 o´clock! I/We wanted to start smooth into the day!😢 I was sitting in a "Beachbasket", listening to "TotenHosen 1000 Gute Gründe"... It was just phucking greeat!!!😄

Holger Kranich
Do You all want more wedding pix?

Holger Kranich
Mikey! Its Phucking late or very early in Aussieland!😄

Happy modeling together Marina and Mike! This meeting turned out to have a romantic tone.

Aghis Barberopoulos
Hello Holger! I would say the primary colour was weinrot 😉

Holger Kranich
LOL Aghis!

Holger Kranich
Now the meeting is over and the guys and Marina leave tomorrow at 09:00... The week was over much too fast! Now i´m looking forward the next year!
You cant imagine how much fun we had and how often we laughted to our guts! 😄

I learned a lot about modeling and all the subjects we had. Especially Frank´s dirty humor is refreshing and breathtaking!

A big thanks to all who made me laugh and made this week the best i had in modeling (and the most un-sober)!!!

CHEERS SCALEMATES!😉😄

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Next year, I'm in again!

Holger Kranich
I hope so, Jonns!

Augie
🙂 looks excellent fun

Thomas Hartwig
🙂
Next year then on the "Oberdeck"?!

Holger Kranich
Lets see how much will "enlist"! But why not "Oberdeck"?

Thomas Hartwig
Would say when we are more than 15 the Oberdeck is a must ... 🙂

Thomas Hartwig
But I have no idea if the fun will be the same with such a big group ... maybe we should find out. 🙂

Holger Kranich
I´d say, if we become more than 12, we should move to the Oberdeck!

Thomas Hartwig
Or you find someone to install more and new lamps for the middle table on the Palette

Holger Kranich
And where to put pizza and beer?

No kidding, that would solve the problem!

Thomas Hartwig
The Pizza would indeed be the problem ... but hey ... we are modellers - we fix any problem! 🙂

Holger Kranich
You got it, babe, you got it! And the view in the Oberdeck must be really cool!😢

Thomas Hartwig
Thumbs up!

Holger Kranich
Next year with you, Guido?
I have not forgotten our bet, if you come, i´ll build a racecar!😉

Holger Kranich
Would be cool to have you around!

Acki
Klasse! Gratuliere zur gelungenen Veranstaltung und vor allem Marina und Mike zur Hochzeit. Alles Gute für Euch beide!!!!!

Burkhard D
Too many ground targets...just kidding 😄

Marina K.
Hallo Mates - eine super Woche - ersetzt vier Wochen Urlaub. Besse als Runde 2.
Herzlichen Dank auch für eure guten Wüncshe zu unserer Hochzeit! Das hat uns sehr gefreut!

Mike Kryza
Hi Mates - it was an absolute great event. Better than four weeks (regular) holidays!!!

Joerg R.
It was a pleasure to be a tiny part of this event. Did come on thursday and found new mates very quick. Thx Holger and all the others. See you next year for sure! 🙂🙂🙂
