Hi everyone. I mounted the wings with machine guns made with small pieces of tube and the lights made with pieces of transparent sprue colored green and red. I decided to rivet the model and started from the top of the wings and the central body

Thank you!

Hi! My entry for this GB General Dynamics F-16A Block 15 #82-1021 , 182nd FS , Montana Air National Guard , 1990 ESCI - ERTL kit in 1/72nd scale

Hi! Called it done General Dynamics F-16A Block 15 #82-1021 , 182nd FS , Montana Air National Guard , 1990

Thanks @Corsairfoxfouruncle , the salmon red in your reference photo looks a little lighter than mine but it's very close Maybe I have to lighten it also for the scale effect that makes it appear darker than it is

Thanks for the trust @Dansk … I'm good but not so much😉🤥 I'm joking but on an 1/48 Hellcat i painted all the markings except for the stencils. it was easier for both the drawing and the larger scale

Thank You

I painted those areas together with the cockpit while I had the airbrush loaded with DDG. Thank you very much @Dana Bell for the comment and the advice because I could forget to check. I have both of your Aircraft Pictorials about Corsair and now your comment so I can't afford to be wrong! However I also checked the birdcage in 1/72 (showed in the first post) and I did it right

Hi! Profitable weekend with both models. in this case I made the engine, painted propeller and wheels (Ultracast) and tested the fit of the fuselage I also tried the salmon red recipe read on "how to build Tamiya's 1/32 F4U-1 Corsair"

Hi! The decals are about 30 years old but they went well

Thank you Dansk The decal sheet includes those for making the lines that delimit the walkway but they are long and narrow and I don't trust them, so I preferred to mask and paint them

Hi The more careful will have noticed that in the previous photos the engine exhaust was missing I made some touches with the darker color (H305). the paint is still wet

Thank You

Thank You

Hi between Saturday and Tuesday I had 4 days at home to model, yesterday in fact it was our National Republic Day So I was able to work a lot on both the F-16 and the Corsair that I am doing for the F4U Corsair STGB I painted the entire model with his four colors Preshading MrHobby H305 FS 36118 for the upper surfaces MrHobby H308 FS 36375 for the bottom surfaces MrHobby H306 FS 36270 for the sides MrHobby H317 FS 36231 for the cone

Hi between Saturday and Tuesday I had 4 days at home to model, yesterday in fact it was our National Republic Day So I was able to work a lot on both the Corsair and the F-16 that I am doing for A Kit You Built As A Kid GB I painted and built the cockpit

Nice work, congrats

Hi @Col.if your project is a French Aeronaval Corsair, you know that the starting model of mine was an F4U-4B, then I was not aware of the differences on the part of the engine / cowling but I believe that the canopy is the same

Thank You I am amazed too, I haven't yet used putty

Hi! Some little progress on my F-16.. Fuselage closed and wings glued I have to finish sanding the joints

Hi I would like to join with this F4U-1 (or -2) "Birdcage" Corsair Tamiya 1/48th scale I have not yet chosen the subject: I have already built the white 20 of the Marines VMF-213 in 1/72 scale but it remains my favorite for early 2 tone camo and the presence of the eagle on the engine cowl Second of the list is one of the two night fighter of the Marines VMF(N)-532 (black 205 or 212) , last but don't least , the 3 (actually 4) tone camo 17-F-13 of the Navy VF-17 PS the same model had been presented for the Pacific at war GB but was not suitable for the regulation for which I changed the subject I would like to show you my other Corsair build This is the model mentioned above (Tamiya 1/72nd with Sky Models decal) An old French F4U-7 - (Italeri 1/72nd with Sky Models decal) A RNZAF Corsair built for Pacific at war GB in 2018 (Revell 1/72nd with Sky Models and Ventura Publications decal , thanks to LDSModeller )

Thank You 🙂

Hi all! This is the cockpit of an Academy F-16CJ kit mounted on the ESCI kit I didn't worry much about correctness because the alternative, the original cockpit was not quite up to par I started with in jets but for many years I made mainly WWII planes, I re-started making jets recently and one of my main difficulties are the ejection seats: too much colors and little details This mess is the best i could do. Harnesses are made from masking tape strips This is air intake I like the separation between gray and white but I made a mess when the blade in the middle (i don' know how it's called) didn't want to stick straight

Thanks for the welcome The mold is also designed for two-seater version (notice the long "hole" on the fuselage and his cover) but that kit (amt) provided for 2 options both single-seater and did not contains the necessary parts for the two-seater. Also the 5 options of the ESCI kit are all single-seater As you can see from my notes written on the instruction, i made a comparison between two other kit (Academy and Tamiya F-16C) to establish the colors of the livery

Hi gents 1993, I was 18 and I was in the last year of high school. In a hardware store where I had gone to buy other things they sold some models, I bought a 1/72 scale Desert Storm AMT-Ertl F / A-18A that I mounted without painting it, putting the decals on the bare plastic. Shortly afterwards I purchased an F-16A of the same series dedicated to Desert Storm accompanied this time by 5 jars of Humbrol colors : 5, 33, 34, 116 and 127 (if I remember correctly). I was convinced that with these colors I could do everything. This is the oldest model I still have (sorry for the dust). I then painted the Hornet with the blue angels livery (without decals) but I don't remember what happened to it. Last year at a model contest I found this ESCI-Ertl kit which is the same mold as that same aged AMT kit but the reason why I took it,was that the boxart represented the same plane that I had a large poster of in my room when i was young. Some parts are separated from the sprue, the exhaust and the wheel wells are already painted by the previous owner (am I in the 25% rule?) The model I will make for this Group Build will therefore be an 1/72 scale F-16A of the 186th FIS of the Montana ANG 'Big Sky Country' Can I use the cockpit on an Academy kit for which I planned to use an Aires cockpit or is it against the rules?
