Danscrew's UHU02 viper

[zathros]

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.

Your engine is very cool Zathros....thumbsup

OK....One of the exhaust is completed.


And....as promise....a small video

I like the engine exhaust. May I use that technique when I rebuild my Viper?

Great job!!!

Why not RB. Go ahead and make one better than mine.

Thank's Mc !

Thank's Mc !

I am not certain if I can make it better than yours, but I can make one better than I did before.

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!!

 

[Danscrew]

Engine exhaust finaly completed

The final video

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!

 

[Danscrew]

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.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This looks FAN(FRAKKING)TASTIC!!!
I like how you cut the skin in half! I look forward to seeing what all you do to finish it off.

 

[McTschegsn]

Well done Dan. Very well done!!! I hope mine is coming out having that awesomeness too!

 

[Revell-Fan]

For Sagan's sake, this looks AWESOME!!! The lights take the model to a new level. I'm looking forward to the next steps!

 

[bigpetr]

Great. I wish I can see it live.

 

[Gandolf50]

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.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

You did a FAN(FRAKKING)TASTIC JOB on this project!!!

 

[Revell-Fan]

OUTSTANDING! FANTASTIC! MIND-BLOWING! Dan, this is superb! A model to be proud of!!! rinks: rinks: rinks:

 

[zathros]

One of the finest builds of this models out there, period.

 

[McTschegsn]

Awesome work!
