Danscrew's UHU02 viper

The piping you have done on this model in simply fantastic. the realism it ads just becomes more evident every time I look at it. I expect you'll be firing them up soon!!

I made a Jet engine for a member, the basic paper model of a Rolls Royce Trent jet engine. He took that base mode. (it's not available, I gave it to him) and the piping he did,d and the frame he made, took that basic model to another level. I honestly consider my part around 30%, considering all the greebling he did, and you have taken this model not way over the top, but far closer to a foundation for "Realism". Parts no added for fill, but parts added that seem to make absolute sense, and should be there. Congrats on that.

I have and will continue to help anyone with design help on a project, but I will not make a complete model for anyone. I just don't have the time. :)

You engine is perfect!! Every time I look at this model, I am amazed!! Very ingenious and imaginative, with a pinch of how things really look!!
 
The cockpit looks like all really can move the seat belt harness aside, and climb in, the plenum chambers look like they work too. I am starting to run out of words for this! :)
 
I folks

It's been a lot of time but I am back with this model mostly completed. Sadely, I lost all of my step by step pictures. So...look down to see what my model look like now. Next step, the canopy, amunition box and a display stand.

For Sagan's sake, this looks AWESOME!!! The lights take the model to a new level. I'm looking forward to the next steps! :)
 
Gorgeous! I guess I'll put that one on the bottom of my to-do list for awhile, and just look at this one!
 
I folks,

Time flies, already three years since I made my last post. Lots of work and projects that charges me the time that I could have for this hobby.

I come to the site from time to time to see the progress of certain projects and I came across the beta of the Viper MK1 from the 70s produced and built by Revell-Fan ..... JUST WOW ..... I will leave it there a post later today.

This reminded me that you never saw the end result of this project. Pretty proud I would say. The only thing that bothers me is that I failed to put some resistors on my lighting. The LEDs blink in the cockpit at the same time as the engines. I will never repet this error again.
