Bl**dy marvellous F16 Daniel! I'm very impressed mate. Do a job like that on the Halibag, and it'll be a stunner!
Just a tip for future reference. When cutting out things like those wing bomb bays, drill smaller holes (eg 1mm or 1.5mm) at each corner, and at stages along the lines of the panels, inside the panel lines. Then, use a razor saw, craft knife, 'Dremmel' type tool with a circular saw, or whatever, and cut out the now perforated sections. File and/or sand the edges straight/smooth, and jobs a good un! Saves a lot of b*ggering about, is more controlable and precise, and prevents attacking a trench with a nuclear bomb - i.e. the bl**dy huge, overkill drill bit used this time around!!

WOW, that F-16 came out beautifully!

Excellent start on the bomber, and thanks for the tips Terry.

Nice work Daniel. F-16 must feel like it's in prison!

Cheers guys , thanks too for the info Terry , I'd have used a 1mm drill bit had it been within arms reach

Great shots of your day out Dan, all that snow still on the mountains. Where's the Hydro scheme, I worked on the Snowy Mountain Hydro at Talbingo for about 5 years before coming to Canberra, we had those great pipes coming down the mountain side.
