May 16May 16 What's on my bench? Racks, new racks😀 I've been reorganizing my work place.I recently got two racks, one from Godhand, the other from Hobby Mio. The blue nipper rack is the Godhand. I've been working on a resin figure.I'm trying to get restarted again😀

Burner can is done. MLG is one piece. Gear bay, legs and wheels are attached to the fuselage as a single unit. You can see them here prior to paint.The same goes for the NLG. I painted and installed both.
May 18May 18 It's a long weekend here in the Great White North so I spent some time at the bench working on the F-16. The cockpit goes together a bit differently from usual.Side consoles.Since the fuselage is one piece, I left them out until now.I also masked and painted the intake lip.Lastly, it's been a lot of detail painting with a brush. I think I really should get a hand rest as it wasn't easy to keep my hand steady using a brush. Nothing new with the shaking, that's been happening since I was a teen, more the hand fatigue.

The egg missiles look good, but I miss extensive use of PE .Cheers Rob

May 20May 20 My first attempt at the IPs was a mess so I started over. The second try was much better. I've started on the decals. They're by Cartograf which is nice. I started with the missiles.
May 22May 22 No longer on the bench but in the air and it's lucky it made it that far little POS.Lots of little imperfections lets just say I lost much interest in this build all together it was get off my desk.Yes Kevin hates doing sheetrock.🙃
May 22May 22 IPs are installed in the Viper. Of course it was at this point that I noticed there were decals for some of the instruments. Oh well.Seats in.Onto decals for the fuselage now.

May 22May 22 Crew?...........How about this "Egg Girl" pilot figure ? Although at 1/12 scale, Claire wouldn'tfit your cockpit😀. Anyway, Nice work Carl. Edited May 22May 22 by Belugawhaleman

May 22May 22 Trying to get some stuff done but Sunny decided to hop in my lap and promptly fall asleep. Will have to try again in a bit when he wakes up.
May 23May 23 Okay, so after Sleeping Beauty woke up and left I was able to get the decals finished. I also installed the underwing stores. I then polished and dipped the rear canopy. Joy Craft gives you two sets of 3D printed clear sections. I used a Godhand sanding sponge set and a dip in Looks Like Glass to get it clear. Final assembly should be the next step once the canopy is dry.
May 23May 23 There's always something at the end. I re did the clear on the front canopy but it wicked up some staining from the tray it was in.Close up of the stains.So I broke out the backup, polished it and gave it a dip. Now it's drying.Otherwise, I'm almost done.
May 24May 24 The Scharnhorst has hit desk but some minor repairs are in order first on the rear SS I guess fat fingers?I also wanted to inspire Carl I said boy Inspire Carl!!(think Foghorn) I spent all day yesterday cleaning sanding the ole paint off the desk,put a new wire rack to the left side and organized the AM goodies and what was there moved to the right side for tools.The new rack confiscated from work 🤫Just look all my RLM colors are labeled numbered and in sequential orderThe r/side some easy grab stuff no longer on the desk.
May 24May 24 The F-16 is finally done. The canopy was installed and that was it. That was a great kit and it bodes well for the forthcoming CT-114 Tutor later this year.
