  1. Very nice work, I particularly like the subtle weathering. How did you find the kinetic instructions? I really struggled with them on my F-16. Gary
  2. Yes Mike, I do but if I do a single seater I'll do the Tamiya kit. Cheers, Gary
  3. Thank you Matthew, They were lacquers with the orange tops, thinned with about 70% Mr hobby self levelling thinners... very impressed with them. Cheers, Gary
  4. Hi everyone, I've never made an F-16 in my 40 plus years of making models so I thought it was high time I addressed this. I chose the new Kinetic kit which went together generally quite well, although it had nasty joint running across the top of the fuselage just forward of the fin. This made blending difficult and resulted in loosing some of the nice panel lines. The instructions were unclear at the best of times especially the stencil data placement, I had to refer to reference photos. My usual preferred MRP paints were out of stock (again!) so I tried Hataka lacquers, USAF set, which were brilliant and I think I will use again in the future. I added a pair of Eduard seats and a Master pitot probe. Thanks for looking, Gary
  5. Nice collection but I do like the Viscount. Regards Gary
  6. Wow! Impressive output of quality models. Regards Gary
  7. Excellent work! I like the extra detail you've added, very realistic. Gary
  8. A very nice model in an interesting and different scheme. Gary
  9. Hi Everyone. My latest model off the bench, Roden's 1/48th Grumman Mohawk. A rather nice kit with fine panel lines and nicely fitting parts, unfortunately the decals were a let down, very fragile and most of them split, so I ended up spraying the walkways on. I added a couple of Quickboost resin seats and an Eduard cockpit photo etch set, which I feel is a must with all that glass to look through. Painted with Mr Color, weathered with oils and pastel chalks. Thanks for looking. Gary
  10. Impressive modelling. I do like the close up photos showing the fine weathering details. Gary
  11. Stunning work Russ, love the backdrop, realistic and atmospheric... you can almost hear the parrots and monkeys! Gary
