Bjorn Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 A pretty quick build, almost entirely OOB: Painted with Gunze acrylics. Decals are a mix, numbers from Vingtor, roundels from Flying Colors and the rest from Hasegawa's decal sheet. Tamiya Tape seatbelts is actually the only addition! To make it easier, this one is before the MLU modification. However for all you F-16 experts out there, I have been told that the wingtip rails were changed into newer ones that could carry both Sidewinders and AIM-120. Well, well... The build was pretty trouble-free. The model is from the 1990s, so there were some challenges, maily in the intake area. But apart from that, all went together without major problems. Thanks for watching! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 nice work! wing tip rails... only details you could also argue on whom you are gonna frighten with your training Aim-120s next to the live Aim-9s, but for sure there is some explanation! ground test load out, etc.... looks nice, you build fast by the way!

Habu12 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just needs the tank fins shaved off. Other than that, nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just goes to show what can be achieved out of the box……..very nice. Just over two weeks ago, on a crystal clear day, I watched an eight-ship launch from Bodo….from the same Squadron IIRC. All with burners lit…….Very impressive as dusk was falling !. Well Done, Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Thank you, all! As you might have noticed, my knowledge on missiles is pretty poor... My models are almost always "clean", without anything under the wings, except for drop tanks. And now you know why. But also thanks for noticing my job trying to capture a non-weathered aircraft, still looking realistic! This was my main goal with this build.
