davidsm Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Right finally something to show. The cockpit's all built up and pilot seated. I can't help feel its a bit crued, but not much of will be seen. More soon, now I#ve uprooted the killer wasp from in my shed! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Is that 'Tinlegs' Bader in the pit there? I know the drill, having amputated my F-14 pilot and RIO to get them in! Be good to see this Portuguese Falcon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F3 Demon Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I'm in the middle of making an F-16B in Portuguese air force, but I could not join in the group build because I had already started making it before the group build, I also have an F-16A Florida ANG and an Egyptian F-16C on the go as well all in 1/72 scale.

You might want to try cutting a cocktail stick at a 45 deg angle, then using the flat , sharp edge to scrape the paint off. Works ok with enamel paint for me.

davidsm Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I'm going to call this finished, no quite as I had hoped for. Hopefully my futre vipers will be better. David Edited July 15, 2012 by davidsm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 David, That's a good looking F-16! Liking the in flight pose you've got there. Every model built is more modelling learned and honed. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
