1/48 Kinetic F-16D Barak IAF


Recommended Posts

After the F-15 Baz, I finished another IDF jet.
The idea was to build it together with a "Sufa" to do camouflaging simulteanously. That never worked.
For paint this was my firste jet to do with Ammo of Mig IAF Desert Colors: FS 33531, FS 34424 Light Gray, FS 30219 Tan, FS 36375 Light Compass Ghost Gray. Great colors to airbrush.
The decals wern't that good of this kit, some ofthe stripes came lose, these weren't survivable and I made the stripe with a pencil. The kit came with Phyton 4 rockets but decals for it (Phyton 3 decals) and no instructions. The panellines were a bit shallow, to a wash.
The paint instructions of the kit were black and white, It is very clear that this kit is a reboxing of K48010. Kinetic just added 2 small papers with instructions just for the IDF version.
The painting on the tail isn't 100% the Tan should be a bit lower to the base of the tail, just to get the Scorpion into the Tan.
Mostely this is an OOB build the RBF tags are from Eduard, the heat seeker covers on the sidewinders are made from sprue.
For the weapons load I choose the AIM-9 Python 4, GBU-12 mounted on a TER, For some reason I couldn't attach them on the middle and the left point. And 3 fuel tanks, 2 600 GAL fuel tanks and the centerliner. And a Lartinpod near the intake.

One F-16 kit completed, added 2 more to the stash, this weekend. Tamiya's Lockheed Martin F-16CJ [block 50] Fighting Falcon (61098) and Lockheed Martin F-16J [block 25/32] Fighting Falcon ANG (61101).

Thanks for looking.

Wow gorgeous Barak Jan :worthy: ! Such a good looking jet, especially when all tooled up like your one. The camo colours look good too, think I might pic some of them up and give them a go on my Sufa/Netz. I look forward to more of your F-16 builds, always cracking!

Thank you David for the nice words on the Barak, I liked the Ammo colours. Seemed to me they are a bit tinner than Vallejo. I'll have the USAF colours as well and give them a try on one of the Tamiya's F-16's.
