Erik Leijdens Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi guys, My most recent build, the 1/48 F-16C from Hasegawa. It was the Idolm@ster F-16C with very unattractive markings and yellow plastic. I decided to build her as Bahraini F-16 when used in Desert Storm 1991. The Hasegawa F-16 has a challenging inlet but whit some filling, sanding and TLC it came out quite nice. I normally build "old" aircraft so this is my first modern fighter, hope you like it!

Parabat Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That's great, so much better than the Banana Boat it was! I've not seen a Bahraini Falcon before, so good to see this sleek Viper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDumbrell Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not one for modern image modelling myself but I must say, this F-16 caught my eye. Very nice rendition of this well known aircraft. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
