Borisz Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Good day, ppl! Let me introduce one of my earlyer bird. The original of this one was based in Germany, Spangdahlem until the 2nd Gulf War against Iraq in 1991. Flown several air to ground missions in this configuration. After the war this falcon was turned back to the USA and given to the National Guard. The kit itself: With one word: Terrible. Gaps instead of fittings, rough-and-ready details, so classic Italeri. Box nr.: 188 Night Falcon. Quess what, the decal wersions does not match with the "Night Falcon" (Block 40/42) config. Italeri gives Block 32. I used Part's etchted detail sheet and an unknown manufacturer's PUR bang seats. Seats was Ok, but the PE set was rather waste of money. The whole kit has (still have) so much smaller problems that I dont wanted to correct those, simply make something that looks like an F-16D and finished as fast as I could. Painted with Humbrol enamel colours, after photo. Different profile of the two halves: More extra details were needed: Preshadeing: "Have been preshaded": Priming for the metaliser: Metalised: Sidewinders: Done job: The original itself: Hope you liked it.

Luis Alfonso Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi Borisz: Congratulations for the wonderful job well done!!! Even tough with all the trouble, really looks very descent kit, maybe not perfect as no model really is, a wonderful build and greatly paid and gives retribution for all the effort, all the work and time invested in it. Thank you very much for sharing, Cheers, Luis Alfonso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
