Eclipseone Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) First time poster, long time lurker! Well... here she is. It took roughly 150-200 hours to complete, and this is my very first completed 1/32!. I've had lots of help along the way, specific shout out to JMREED for donating me the 600GAL tanks. THANK YOU! I've tried some new techniques on this model like post shade weathering, which I quite like more than pre-shading the panels. This method gives it a more sporatic look, where I feel that pre-shading may look too linear in this case. This was my first crack at photoetch and resin, I quite liked the photo etch, but I had a hell of a time getting the resin to agree. I snapped more parts into 2-3 pieces more often than not. Small note: taking photos with big models is VERY difficult. WIP http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=44560 Parts that were used on this build are as follows: 1/32 Tamiya F-16CJ Isracast Block 40 resin conversion Academy 600gal SUFA tanks Academy Python Launch rails Correctly modified pylons to fit the 600gal tanks Isracast Decals Eduard cockpit photo etch Aires Resin exhaust Eduard Israeli RBF tags Aero Seeker head covers Intake cover made with plasticard and nitrile gloves Here she sits. "The Scorpion" Warning, lots of pics I hope you enjoy! Any comments, criticisms, tips are encouraged as I'm a rookie!

stevehnz Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Very very nicely done. I think the Israeli camo schemes are some of the most attractive around & your one looks ever so good. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
