Launch when ready!
- Thread starter Revell-Fan
- Start date
I agree with RB, You are doing a FANTASTIC job on this project!!!
Knowing her, she will stop by the mess hall to grab a coffee (and possibly a pastry) as well. :Coffee:
Attention deck crew! Rigel has arrived at her station. Prepare the launch rail!
Bring in the cardboard! Quick! Quick!
Bring in the cardboard! Quick! Quick!
Attention, Rigel is taking up her headset! Time for a last systems check!
Install the cannons! Make sure that the angle is correct!
Fix the side plates! There is no time to unscrew them, just glue the correct version over!
Attach the wings permanently! Fasten all bolts! Use some glue on the edges, put the plane up and let it cure!
Guys, what's the status on the bridge?
- Rigel is cleaning her desk. I think we may have a launch any Centon! Stand by!

Transferring controls to Viper fighters.
Acknowledged. All systems ready and functioning.
Hey, there is no pilot in there!
Someone get the ladder!
Oh no, the ladder's not ready yet! Alert @Rhaven Blaack immediately!
So what about the pilot?
Never mind. CORA will do the job just fine.
Alright then..!
:Grin:
Wonderfull. :Bravo:
Who should I kill to get this beauty?

Actually, you do not have to kill anyone. After I do the beta build (to make certain that there is nothing that Revell-Fan forgot), it will be available for free! You just have to wait a little bit longer.
OUT(FRAKKING)STANDING!!!
@Revell-Fan As always, you have outdone yourself again!!!

....and one serious question: Maybe I missed it. What is the size of the model compared to the Viper Mark II of Uhu02? Because I have already built the model - would be great if the two would fit together.
As to my understanding, this is 1:48 scale version. But other bigger versions will follow.
Hi fans,
first of all, thank you very much for your comments.
The next most important step is: Correcting the lines. Even though assembly was pretty straight-forward and the model certainly looks like the Viper it does have some severe texture issues. These have to be corrected first before any other version can be tackled. Many panels on the sides are too far away from the cockpit and must be pushed closer toward it. Then there are two lines directly below the cockpit which do not go straight down. Third, there are a few panels which are missing and which must be added (especially on the bottom). So expect the Beta build (by Rhaven) to look even better. That was the main reason why I went with the smaller scale first. It doesn't eat up too many pages and you can see any errors better. Just imagine I had started with the 1:18 first and something had gone wrong - lots of pages would have been printed in vain and the build process would have taken much longer since there were more parts.
This 1:48 version was designed for simplicity if someone wants to scale the pattern down even further, to 1:72 maybe. That was the reason why I did not spend too much time with greebling out the ship and why it features a one-part straight nose and one-part straight intakes. The 1:32 will feature more detailed parts such as a three-part nose and three-part intakes with a slight curvature and an internal skeleton. Basically this 1:32 will be the basis for the ultimate big one in action figure scale.
I'll be staying with the 1:48 scale till all variants have been completed, the 2-seater and the Crimson Viper.
So much for the plans. I'm now preparing another round of pictures - stay tunned!

Good try, really good try!
Exactly. UHU's Viper is about 1:48 ~ 1:50, so both should look fine next to each other. Since the original miniature was 1:24 you can say that this model is 1/2 studio scale.
