Lex77 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Been a long time, had some trouble with flickr but made a new account. Did some work on this one so some overdue pictures.

dnl42 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Nice! I built that a few years ago. If you're using the wonderful Caracal decals, be aware they're sized for a different model. I found I had to use the kit's walk-way and refueling door decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks for the heads up, will be using the Techmod, Model Maker and kit decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Coming along nicely Lex. It looks like you used the "make a tube out of it and pour in white paint" to get a seamless intake - messy but effective. I like the tint on your canopy - which paint did you use?

Lex77 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Mike, It certainly is messy! 😉 I think it is the lighting as the canopy isn't painted, never tried painting one as I am afraid it would be ruined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Someone is wrong here...... Left Techmod (wrong) and right ModelMaker 20190710_201952 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looking good Lex. That's a rather nice colour scheme - almost enough to make me want to build an F-16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 An interesting scheme, and good catch on the decals. It is strange how some decal manufacturers can not get national insignia correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Finished this one today. Too late but still wanted to show the end result. 20190807_152355 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20190807_152407 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20190807_152436 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20190807_152458 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortyEighter Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A fantastic model Lex, who cares if it didn't quite meet the deadline! A great scheme and very well finished. Note to self: you still have a 1/32 F-16 and Polish decals in the stash. Regards Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
