Erik Leijdens Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Finally the end is in sight; Hope to finish her this weekend... I'm a bit tired with this bird to be honest. Erik 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 well you should be able to rest very happy when you do knowing you've produced such a lovely looking model!!! well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I know the tired feeling. I'm at the same stage of construction as you, and also tired of it. It's at this point that rushing causes a good model to go bad. Put it aside for a few days, then come back refreshed. Your model looks beautiful, it would be a shame if something got messed up now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Leijdens Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks for the wise words guys! Will indeed take a break of it, at least for today.. not totally satisfied with the panel wash. I made a gray wash but the satin clear cote made it black.. Really don't like that when it happens. Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Leijdens Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Almost ready! Added the Quickboost seat and metal pieces from Master. Pitot tube, AOA probes and the static dischargers, they are a real nice add on. Hope to finish her tonight; Erik 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 After all the struggles that you had with the tail marking, this is looking rather special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That tail looks awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Leijdens Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks guys. The Aces II seat from Quickboost is now painted too, a real nice piece. I prefer it above the Aires ones since the Quickboost has seatbelts as one piece with the seat rather than PE belts; Erik 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Both the F-16 and the seat are looking very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Very nice seat indeed, good work. The model is looking fantastic, I really like the work you have done on her and the Tiger stands out great. I look forward to seeing the finished work very soon.

trickyrich Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 She looks awesome Erik, well done!! You've achieved a lovely finish after the challenges you had with the tail, it's a great looking scheme. A model to be very proud of. I'm glad you enjoyed the build and it was a pleasure to have you along. Don't forget to post some photos (only 5) in the gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 She looks great, I really like how the splash of colour on the tail and center tank completely offset the grey. It just seems "balanced". Great stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Beautiful F-16 Erik, the finish is perfect, really well done. I like the smart grey scheme combined with the blue tail and intake cover, very nice! David. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
