Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Thak U Justin, Toloo12 and Stephen. My plan is paint that bird in next week. I hope it would be possible. Right now I have a lot of duties in my work. Ofcourse I'll post photos. I'd like to scratch another sidewinder but in AIM-9X version and maybe also 4 of JSOW's AGM-154. I'll think about. But I have to scratch an Panther/Sniper XR pod which Polish Vipers will carry on. Edited January 29, 2006 by Marcin Witkowski, Poland Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doctorpepper Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 how did you make the brass pitot? did you use a lathe, or did you really use a dremel and a blade as the photo suggests? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) Yes, indeed. I was surprised because I didn't know it will works this way. But the effect is worth of a little effort. I can trully recomend this solution. Thank U for intention. I'll try to post another pics of next steps of build my Viper.

Citrico Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 What a great work!! very inspiring i must say. I´m amazed with all that scratchmade details. I think they´ll be very usefull when I start building a chilean viper. I´ve got some questions: 1) how did you make the conformal fuel tanks?, do u have blueprints with the measurements? 2)as you demonstrate, the copper is a very versatile material but, how do u cut it? 3)please explain me the metod por the pitot making???!!! keep on doing that great work greetings from Chile Andres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlightDecs Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hello Bardzo dobre spojrzenie samolotu. Ja nie może czekać widzieć wynik końca. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 FlightDecs, Your Polish is such funny as my English :D I gues You've been used an web translator. Thank You for opinion Joe Citrico, I'll try to answer for Your questions: 1. I used some plastic plates and cut the two base shapes of it. Then I profiled it and glued together. Next step was paste it on fuselage body and filing accurate shape and profile. Actually I changed the profile of the CFT nose section because it was to flat. I'll post some pics soon. I used THIS DRAWS of Polish Viper. 2. The cooper is soft that I can cut it by ordinary scissors. 3. The pitot (alpha probe) is the result of lathe work. I placed the 3mm diameter brass wire in the Dremell tool and I profiled it using the scalpel and file. I hope it is helpful and intelligible :blink: Greetings from Poland Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Citrico Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 thank you Marci, I´ll try those tips. By now, keep us updated with your great work Andres Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Andres I'm very happy that my work can help You :D Pinhead, thank U for opinion :( I'm actually working on wings - leading edge flaps and flaperons. I made also some other antennas, the AAQ-33 Sniper XR is also rising but slowly. Next update will arrive soon. I hope You'll wait for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afterburner Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 yeah, I'll be waiting for the update and drooling! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 There is also a vent of avionics in port side strake. The real one on F-16 E from Airliners.net and Sufa from The Kfir’s Lair I made this element of copper plate 0,05mm thin. It’s 7 parts construction. The hole in Viper body: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 And the paste vent smooth with to fuselage surface which will be polished before paint job: Next part is an net. It’s probably the went of avionics in nose of port CFT. I’m not so sure of it but I decided to do this little thing. And as the last today, the little antenna under the intake. Our Polish F-16 will carry that thing, I saw it also on UAE Block 60 Vipers. What is it? Link 16 antenna? Regards ScaleTomcatTweeker :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Marcin, that nose pitot is incredible. I bet you could sell some of those as aftermarket. Keep up the great work and showing us how you do it. Regards Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
