I don't build jets... part 2... 1/48 Tamiya F16


Recommended Posts

Hi guys 

 

It's part 2 of I don't build jets. Apparently I do and have turned out another one. 

 

Enjoyed this one, but not as much as the Rafale. 

 

Out of box build with the exception of some Eduard belts. Pretty straight forward build which was nice. 

 

Model painted with Mr Surfacer 1000 thinned with self levelling thinners for the primer, and vallejo model air for the main colours. 

 

Weathering was left simple with a flory wash and a few areas polished so there wasn't an overall even finish as seen on real birds. 

 

Flat coat was tamiya clear again thinned with self levelling thinners. 

 

Hope you enjoy the photos. I am, as ever, open to any feedback but please be nice, remember I don't build jets...

Excellent finished model. You really need to stick with jets 👍

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the kind word. 

 

Matt, modelling jets always scared me for some reason and I never built them as a result. However , since moving from hairy stick painting I now have a bit more confidence in tackling them. 

 

They are enjoyable and tbh I think jets are my future modelling.
