planecrazee Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Right folks - this was my submission for the F-16 group build which I managed to finish a couple of days late I was so close but yet so far!!! This is only my second modern jet build and I really enjoyed it - made more enjoyable by the fact it's an excellent kit IMOH. Hopefully I can have as much luck completing the Zvezda Mig-21 for the other group build. So I would really appreciate your feedback on this one and I hope I have done the kit and the aircraft some justice. Built OOB with just a couple of tweaks such as a scratched up pitot tube. Pics below - hope you enjoy: 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Excellent work - if it's only your second modern jet I look forward to the third one! And congrats on finishing your Group Build, mine never got started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Nice job on that, it looks great with that load out, locked, cocked & ready to rumble. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planecrazee Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks for your comments FortyEighter & Steve - much appreciated. Hopefully I'll do my third jet justice (the Mig-21) which will be followed up by my fourth - the Airfix de Havilland Vampire. Modelling jets for me seems to have been like buses - I've waited ages for one - then they've all come at once lol!!!! Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 That looks great, especially for your second foray into modern jets. You've achieved some nice, subtle shading to enliven the grey scheme (especially on the upper fuselage) and done a good job on the exhaust. Looking forward to your Zvezda MiG-21!!

Martin Ford Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I really like that. Very, very impressive. Have never made a modern jet myself but may have a go at an F-15 I have hidden away. If I made a hundred of them none of them would look this good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planecrazee Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks vultures and Martin - I'm bowled over by your kind comments. I'd love to see how your F15 turns out Martin - bet you'll do a cracking job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planecrazee Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks for your comments Markie - much appreciated. Especially when as I said - modern jets are a new area for me in the aircraft modelling world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
