AndyC Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi all Here is my entry for the Fighting Falcon STGB. She is the 1/48 Academy F-16C-25 built as 84-1393, 'Ace in the Hole' of the 111th FS at Houston in Texas in 2007. The WIP thread is here. Built OOB except for tape seat belts and Superscale decals. She was painted using home-made mix of Blue (Humbrol) and Xtracrylix/Tamiya paints for the rest with Alclad to the exhaust. She was a bit frustrating in places but is a looker!

Yeah, it staggered me too thinking this was 5-yr old scheme! Only seemed like yesterday when I first saw it online - but 2007 was when I started modelling again!

AndyC Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Gotta love those yellow wings To be frank...no other reason to build this really - I saw the real thing online in about 2008, then Superscale International brought the decals out, then Hannants had them on special offer, then this GB arrives...it's fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
