I'm back dating mine to a block 32 anyway. Just got to take the lumps and bumps off
-
Cheers for that Phil but is there not a list of X numbers on the instruction sheet?
Tamiya colours?
Sorry Stephen didn't scroll down
-
Seeing all these in progress builds make me want mine to come faster
Anychance of listing the paints that it asks for Phil just so I can order them in advance of the model arriving...cheers!It's the standard F-16 colours of FS36118 gunship gray, FS36270 medium gray, FS36375 light compass gray

I found the problem!
It's the main gear/ rear engine and how it sits in the lower fuselage. Make sure it in properly as it sits a little high and that's why they don't match up. I put the front part on the intake in and glue it to the lower fuselage but not the two intake parts. when dry i put a drop of zap a gap on the two intake half's a put pressure on the front part of the join, held for a minute and it fit fine. you cant see it from the front at all.

Just thought you might want to see Tamiya's 1/48 F-16.
It is a lovely kit but not perfect buy a long way. Anyway here's a look at the 1/48 cockpit and then the 1/32.
my main complaint is the pin marks an the positions that there in.
The pin marks are quite deep and in very alquad positions like the undercarriage legs and gear doors.
The problem at the moment is lining up the to intake parts.

Super work Neil, a real beautiful model.
-
Poor old Yeovilton,
certainly quieter now. -
Thanks for the sharing the pics, I must get out more.
-
That's the difference Mike - I brushed mine on too
I don't think I will risk brushing future on. I can just imagine a Client coming back in five years time saying I paid you £*** and it's terned yellow
-
Lovely Mustang , but I think it's more to do with the decals. I have always thought that if the future was to thick it would yellow, I know it dose on floors
-
Very fine build, Phil - must try the sludge wash technique some time soon!
I've got two of these in the stash, as well as some aftermarket decals - must build them one day! While I'd like to think we'll see an FGA.9 quite soon, I think that the wait for a twin-seater may be rather longer. Of course, the Matchbox T.7/ F.6 is readily available on Ebay for not much money, Aeroclub do white metal seats, but it seems you'll have to scratch the rest of the interior detail. You could add the twin-seat nose to the Revell AG kit, because the rest of the Matchbox kit is, er, typically Matchbox. Aeroclub do a canopy if you don't like the Matchbox item (I thought they did a whole conversion kit, but it's not listed at the moment), and ther are a number of suitable aftermarket decal sheets.
The way the kit is set up, I'd have thought it would be quite easy for Revell AG to do a F.4, too.
Cheers,
Chris.
I did think of cutting the front of the Matchbox T.7 but it's a mater of time. I should have started the Tamiya F-16 today but i thought I would Finnish the MIG and the Hunter for a clean start tomorrow. That said you have got me thinking.
-
God I hate you Phil - what a job sitting at home making models all day. Bloody nice that Hunter - love the weathering too, just right
It's 'HELL'
but someone has to do it. Thanks Gary
-
OK decal time. Pretty straight forward but you do have to cut up the main gear door decal.
Ending up like this .
A coat of future and left over night.
First thing this morning I put on the wash and left it to finish of the BMF MIG-21.
Wash off, and ready for final assembly.
All the bits on, unmasked and seat in.
I will put more photos up later.
Well I have to say this has to be the best 1/72 kit I've built and the Tumphy wyvern a close second.
Thanks for looking and happy modeling

or give it a quick blast of Kleer with your air brush.
From SKII's post
''I know what you mean about future over alclad. I had a near mirror finish on a starfighter, I was very happy and then I put a coat of future on so It ended up as a well worn starfighter. I wasn't picking just interested,
From near mirror to flat in two minutes.
So now I don't take the risk.
-
OK I wasn't going to put this one on the site as is not British and I only just put one up.
I have just finished this one using AlcadII. The reason for showing it is that me and Cop were having trouble with decals on alclad.
Well after a few tests I have come to the following conclusion.
Its bloody Airfix decals, The carrier film has a mat Finnish
Theses are Academy decals and are very glossy and are hardly noticeable. So if you are using Alclad be careful what decals you use.

Nice work Joel,
Love the F2
-
Fantastic job John,
-
Yes, it was a late war (originally approved for use in December 1943) interceptor, designed to give priority in climb, speed and high altitude performance.
The mark the kit is based on, the J2M3, first saw action in the Battle of Mariana in September 1944.
It really excelled, however, in defence of mainland Japan under the 302nd Air Group on Atsugi island, which was in the main path of the US B29 bombers. They shot down around 300 planes from the end of 1944 till the end of the war.
(Read off the Tamiya instructions!)
Smoky bacon or salt and vinegar crisps by the way?

Amazing photos peeps,
I may be able to build a model in a weekend
, but I can't take a photo of a moving aircraft for poo. -
That's looking great Phil
I reckon Revell must have sold a boatload of these kits, the amount I have in the stash and your plans to take over the world
Why don't they hurry up and so some other variants in 1.72
Matt
You would think they would do a two seat variant. I have a 1/32 here, all I need is the Academy 1/48, do them in the same marking and it would a great size comparison.
-
Very nice Phil, looks superb... any chance you could scan me a copy of the instructions, only the bit of the fighter school page, the bit with the decals and colour scheme on it. I really want to do this in 32nd scale..
Cheers,
Neil
I can go one better, this is the PDF instructions from revell, http://www.revell.de/manual/04350.PDF
If you still need a scan Neil, just shout.
Thanks peeps its coming together a treat. ( thats is all commissions can wait
) Im going to build 120, 1/72 hunters and take over the world . Are there 120 different markings . -
Thanks guy, I would love to do a FA.2 in 1/24. It's just a case of finding the time, Perhaps I will take up model making as a hobby too.
-
OK paint time
I sprayed the silver underside X11 and left it to dry overnight. Next the yellow markings, I couldn't work out the best way to do it yellow first or after. Well I went for the yellow but I think it would have been better doing it after.
Next a coat of Dark sea gray
Then the green camouflage, all free hand. I have the idea that it would take longer to mask than it would to spray it. I also think free hand gives a warn out look
Next is the yellow bands on the wings
Then a bit of hand painting the nose and exhaust
A coat of future and its ready for decaling.

Oh, and this one
I'm going mad, mad I tell you ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
