Alan P Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi all, This was originally intended to be a build log of this gorgeous kit but unfortunately I never got round to taking any pictures after the early stages! So instead, here are the finished photos of this commission build, done as a Block 40 Falcon in the colours of the 555FS based in Aviano, Italy around the time of Operation Allied Force in 1999. The model is the Tamiya F-16C kit with some odd additions from the Academy kit, Aires, AstraDecals, Eduard and my scratchbuilding efforts. Enjoy ! Thanks for looking!

I thought the hype about Tamiya was just trendy fanboy love, but there's definitely substance to the adulation! If I could just afford a few more...😂 Cheers, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice Allen!!!!! 👍 Thanks Keg! I built five of these the last two years for commissions and the shape really grew on me. Up to then I wasn't really a fan but these days I'd very much agree with you! Alan Edited April 5, 2019 by Alan P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
