She’s a beauty and a beast all in one Fantastic build. Congrats

Starting to take shape now. The ejector-pin marks should be 'lost' once the lid goes on

Two's company, three's................................................. Again, just a bit of colour in the cockpit fir the 1:48 and the rest fell together. All 3 tail feathers are push fit for the photo

And then there were two (well, kind of!) The 1:72 is just like the 1:144; bit of paint in the 'office' then it's a few parts to build up the majority of the fuselage.

Another section complete (ish)

Really starting to take shape; and very nicely too!! 🙂

Many thanks

Hi Cliff, Just seen this in the gallery; it’s brilliant!!

Thanks Craig. Not many parts to get to this stage 🙂

Well, That didn't take long!! To be fair, it's only 1:44, and only the fus. The cockpit took the longest and that's because I had to wait for the paint to dry (no pilot though). The exhaust and armaments are still to go, but even with those, I reckon the overall paint-job is going to take soooooooo much longer.

Thank you 🙂 And WOW! Yes, you really should!!

Not that I’ve ever built the real thing, but the same thing crossed my mind 😀 Thank you 🙂 I believe the bonnet is removable so had to put a little effort in 😉

I've made a start on this. Chassis completed in one as it helped with parts alignment . Looks like the rest of it can be build in 'blocks', and put together. Time will tell Pretty sure that fuel tank will be totally lost when complete but I had to paint it anyhow!

Often thought about building something like this. Watching with interest Nice start

They look fantastic I'm planning to build the F-16 in 4 scales; starting with 1:144, 1:72, and 1:48, in the NATA GB. I feel I need to add this cockpit to the master plan now!!
