CanDid Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hi, This is my latest build, a RNoAF F-16 MLU. I used the Eduard NATO Falcons kit, i.e. Kinetic, together with decals from Vingtor and a PJ pilot in the office. As Eduard is adding resin and PE to the Kinetic kit the build is more or less OOB, just some wiring added. I have added a decent amount of weapons from the kit and Hasegawas Weapons set to make it look like pictures that I found on the web taken at Souda Bay, Crete, during the Libya Air War. I always wanted to make a Norwegian F-16, but it is rather difficult to get all over one tone grey schemes to come alive but I gave it a try. She is painted with Gunze and Aclad II where needed. Hope you like it Cheers /Fred 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim T Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Looks good to me. Certainly not a boring grey finish to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooky56 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Really great weathering, brought it to life nicely without over doing it, I'd be very pleased with that result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorwegianWood Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Looks very much like the real deal. I think you have made the best out of the one tone grey F-16 that is possible without overdoing the weathering. Excellent build. I wonder if I'l ever reach that level....? I see from your signature that you may live not that far from Værnes airport outside Trondheim. Next year 21-22. June there will be an airshow celebrating 100 years of flying from Værnes. I'm sure you'll have a chance to see a RNoAF F-16 up close I you have the chance to visit the show.

Vingtor Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Great job! Weathering can often be too heavy - this is just right. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanDid Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thank's for all nice comments. Please add some feed-back as well Great job! Weathering can often be too heavy - this is just right. Nils Well Sir, thank you for making it happen. Your decals are very nice in deed! Looks very much like the real deal. I think you have made the best out of the one tone grey F-16 that is possible without overdoing the weathering. Excellent build. I wonder if I'l ever reach that level....?

I'm sure you'll have a chance to see a RNoAF F-16 up close I you have the chance to visit the show. You are right, grew up seeing visiting F-16 from Ørland in the sky. Thank you for the Værnes link. I am also sure you can build a much better one! //Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl_five_zero Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Cracking build there, Fred! I've been considering a 'Weegie F-16 build for a while. Yours definitely makes me want to do one even more! The weathering really helps bring an otherwise flat grey scheme to life, for sure.Daryl.
