  1. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/esci-4010-general-dynamics-f-16a--1288343 One of the early ESCI F-16 kits had that scheme. Also: https://www.scalemates.com/profiles/mate.php?id=12192&p=albums&album=19822
  2. Microsoft pulled out the Mpeg-2 DVD bits from Media Player a couple of years ago due to licensing costs, I believe. They now supply that as a separate download in the Store.
  3. It's more like an acrylic laquer, and smells like house paint MRP is pretty easy to clean out with Mr.Hobby Leveling Thinner, so if you intend to use it more often getting one of those smaller 100ml glass bottles may be worth it. That grey green camo definitely would have made the Dutch F-16s look special. Any plans to build one of the Belgian ones in the proposed two greens & tan?
  4. Just wait for the Hase ones to hit the 2nd hand market once this one is out (or pick up the inevitable overtree box).
  5. I'm now imagining a Tiggy doing a SHAR-like approach from the side, thanks for that
  6. It is a bit dark, but not like that pic shows. I do note that they say they brushpainted it, which in my experience tends to work less well. Spraying leaves a thinner coat so less 'dense'.
  7. You can make it as cheap or as expensive as you want. FineMolds do weps sets in 1/72 for their 60/70s Phantoms. The Hase sets tend to pop up every now and then at HLJ and the like. Here's a decent collection: https://www.aviationmegastore.com/en/cat/aircraft-weaponry-233.html
  8. Good spot. OTOH, 7.36 is a turn onto final without. Guess they're not that effective once the flaps are down anyway.
  9. Just that it's 1980s bare, no sidewalls, just the floor & IP and seats. Bit of snazzing up helps: Oh and for the real obsessive ones: the auxiliary engine doors on the bottom wing are moulded closed.
  10. Best shots are around 3.15 in here: Looks like only the trailing edge flaps.
  11. To be fair to the author(s), they don't attribute the photo to that date, merely stating that the aircraft was in use with the unit during that period.
  12. There's a period pic from early 1960s that suggests metal frontsides - not unusual for the post-war period. See also here:
  13. That was, together with the cowl flaps, my only gripe when building mine - I added a couple of extra strips of plastic to mimic stringers which give extra support, and drilled out the holes for the gear pegs which resulted in a better angle. Otherwise, it's short-run fun as usual
