Alan P Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Nice kit (Hasegawa, first one I've made and most impressed), IsraCast conversion a bit woolly and indistinct but nice PE, decals were excellent. To see the fun build thread, click HERE Weapons from Hasegawa Weapons set and the Python AAMs were from Paragon. Used Xtracolour and WEM enamels. The Xtracolour Sky/Green was a bit indistinct so probably should've given it another coat, but to be honest I couldn't wait another week or so for the Xtracolour to dry! Weathered with Flory wash and finished with Testor's Dullcote. No other weathering as in all the photos of these planes they look neat as a pin. Clearly, a lot of pride and a budget to match in the IAF! Decided to build it in flight as these machines look about as mean as fighter jets get! Tried to do it justice, but there's a lot I could've done better if I'd taken a bit more time. Thanks for looking, Al Edited June 2, 2019 by Alan P Pic links restored. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 That's another beauty Al If I'm honest, I prefer the clean lines of the Viper without the CFTs and enlarged spine. However, in this config, it certainly looks a mean beasty, especially when armed to the teeth....i might be coming round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnerdad Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Lovely job, don't mean to be controversial, but damn, those humbacked F-16's are so bloody ugly!!!Purposeful, mean and no quarter given to aesthetics, but ugly. Am I in a minority? Great build, right about the U/C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
