Phil @ Flory Models Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Got this build going on my site, but thought I would spread the love you may have seen the cockpit shots before but I thought I'd better finish it off. Stand clear because this one is going to be dirty Tamiya F-16CJ 1/48 scale First of, it's the cock pit. A very nice job Tamiya have done too and really no need for a resin replacement. I will be using a replacement seat thou. First I've painted the entire cockpit dark gull gray. Next I pick out all the panels with that flat black. Next up It's out with the wash and wash out the hole cockpit with the dark. I then went over the panels with the light wash to bring the panel to life. Next I picked out the switches and lights with a cocktail stick. More to come soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a Raptor driver over on ARC The thing that amazed me of the F-16 was all the vents and air scoops that don't do anything. It was a fascinating day and getting all hands on is a massive inspiration to build better models. Now can I have a look around a raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil @ Flory Models Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Right. Gear wells in and cockpit. I thought I would do the lights (Tamiya clears) Next it's time to take care of the intake. I've built four of these now and getting the intake to line up is always a problem, but I think I've got the hang of it now. By using a sanding stick I push the front part of the intake up. Then, using my thumb, push the rear part down, by pushing down and pulling the sanding stick up it lines everything up nice. If you have a look down the intake and are happy with it you can glue in place, I used super glue just on the top part that I pushed down with my thumb. A quick spray with some CA kicker locks it all in place, then I brushed on some tamiya extra thin to weld the whole thing in place. Next all the wings go on and tail, no problem anywhere. To make the spraying easier I removed the main gear door hinges so I could close the main gear doors Finished off the cockpit bit, found my resin seat won't fit, so I'll use the kit seat for now.

Actually its a 'wrong-un' in this area- and thats without the undercarriage bay sinkmarks Edited December 3, 2007 by Mentalguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
