Retracts are in with some funky star headed bolts so I might change those for ease of maintenance!

RE: Tomahawk Futura Build Thread
I received a phone call my Tomahawk Viperjet is ready and will be send soon.
If there is any interest, I will make a build thread as well.
Hope it will be the same quality as the big Hawk and Futura.

I didnt realise it was that far complete. Are you telling me the retracts were bolted in? The control horns done and the servo covers pre fitted??? Now thats another level!
I will have to check with Thomas as I only ordered a stage 3 kit ( No extras on top of that)
Dont worry Mark... You wont get charged any extra...
Hans.. Wait till you see it fly!

Hi Mark,
Does the Futura use inlet ducting and full bypass ? Would be interested in seeing a photo if you can oblige.
Don't bother getting it painted, looks good in white. Put come coloured vinyl on it. Different scheme every year.
Definately the most Futuristic looking jet on the scene.

A new scheme every year is a good idea, it means after a few years, you'll of paid for me to get a futura

Dunc, I can assure you that what you're going to charge me it'll take about 20 seasons for you to afford one
There are some simple inlet ducts. It isn't bypassed but I am sure we can talk Mr Scully into producing some if necessary :-)

What is the flek stone paint you're using, all the stuff I've found and tried takes upwards of 24hours to cure which is a pain in the arse. Is the stuff you use the same?

The stuff I use, from memory takes a couple of hours to dry but I leave it overnight to harden anyway.
HTH,

Thanks Mark,
That's what I ended up doing. I even tried the expensive car restoration trunk paint, but that stuff takes forever and a day to dry, and it's far to big and rough. I just wondered if you had a better product that I hadn't found or wasn't available in Canada.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Why does it do this!?
OK, same URL but where you see a single hyphen make it 3 hyphens. So 3 of them before the 4651 and 3 of them before the 3620

schroedm , Hi,
This machine looks Nothing short of AWSUM... In the pics its dripping Quality, from your eyes, can you see anything your not happy with, factory gluing, former alignments, anything ???
Its the opposite to what im working on, PST Reaction, some say its a top quality arf... Maybe my standards are WAY to high !!!!!!!!
Also i cant get the link to work on the Plasti-cote site, but did pick up a colour reference booklet today, so maybe a part number from your can will help ???
Keep up the Great work, and sharing of info, cant beleave how fast your building/assembling here.
Cheers Jeremy.
