Red Dot Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 9 hours ago, modelling minion said: And we are done!!! Why is it these last "little bits" always take longer than expected? Anyway it's completed now but first a couple of pics to show the final steps of progress starting with a couple of the completed cockpit area before the canopy was added. And the finished AIM-9 added to it's rail. Followed by the ACMI pod. And the centre-line pod. And now the canopy fixed in place. And some pics of the finished model. Well that's it guys, thanks to all of you for looking in and giving encouragement where needed and special thanks to @trickyrich for hosting this GB. I have learned a lot about F-16's here and will build more, just not right now as I have a date with a Mig-25! I will post some more pics in the gallery. Thanks again. Craig. Good job on this one Craig. It looks very impressive indeed. have you finished the MiG yet? 😉 Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Absolutely superb F-16 Craig, really well done. I love the overall finish especially, restrained and spot on to the real deal, also my personal preference for how Falcons should be tbh! You must have one of the most colourful display cabinets in the business , I look forward to the Mig! Edited March 20, 2017 by mirageiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the cabinet is quite colourful, and overflowing! Mind you the big grey Mig will certainly tone down the colours, If I can find a way to make room for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 AWESOME JOB!!!! well done Craig she looks amazing, the detail and the finish are first class, you can be very proud of her! Well I hope you enjoyed the build, it was really nice you could join the fun. And we now have the perfect way to get you restarted on a stalled build.... Now you can finish the MiG-25, another build I'm loving! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy the build and I have become fonder of the F-16, and the whip! Glad you like the Mig-25, I have made a bit more progress and hope to update the thread either today or tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
