Paragon, is there any chance of you putting up some instructions for the Trek models?
 
Thank you. I'm glad you are all enjoying them. Also, the Type 11 shuttle (aka Enterprise-E shuttle) is now available on my site (forgot to mention it here).

Wow, you really knock these out toot sweet. Thanks for all of your work on these and making them available.:thumb:
 
New download available!


This time it is the IAI Lavi, an Israeli fighter that never quite reached production, because the Israeli government couldn't afford it, couldn't find any other backers, and was pressured by the US government not to create competition for the F-16.

The design bears a lot of similarity to the Chinese J-10 Chengdu (also available in the Contemporary Aircraft section), which many suspect was actually a continuation of the Lavi. Having designed and built models of each aircraft, I can say that I don't think the Chinese used the same airframe.

The model was relatively quick to design, and was at the top of my request list because one of my donors asked for it.

It is available in the X-Planes section of the website, in two different color schemes and two different scales.







Compared to the J-10 Chengdu:



 
Really? How? If it was a problem with fit, I suggest trying without tabs, I got the best results that way.

The fuselage comes in two pieces; the top and bottom. My advice is to assemble the top/front first, then assemble the bottom, and then attach the bottom. Don't attach the bottom of the tail until you've done everything else, and then attach the engines.
 
The F-100 Super Saber is available on my website in the Cold War section. Don't let the images fool you, this baby comes completely stocked with missiles, fuel tanks and the option of having landing gear down, unlike most of my other models. You also have three color schemes to choose from: USAF, Thunderbirds, or Wild Weasel. Or build all three if you want!
