Mozzy19 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I think It should be ok once the decals and weapons etc are on. I’ve also repainted the nose because it looked a little too dark compared to photos. Sean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Don't worry too much about an exact match to a photo Sean, there are plenty of pics showing line ups of Vipers where they all appear to differ slightly. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 looks good with some paint on. I agree with Mike, those nose cones do very quite a bit due to the material and paint used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks guys. I’m going to leave the colour as it is, I think it’s as close as it’s going to get to be honest. Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 The missiles got painted today and the exhaust nozzle got finished up. I’ll get a gloss coat on it tomorrow ready for decals. Sean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Those decals have really brought your F-16 to life Sean. What a cool choice of scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Those decals really transformed the plastic colored plane into a stunning looking piece! Good work on the missiles too - I'm sure those extra details will add another 'wow' effect to this build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The fuselage stripes have a great 3D effect - it looks like the top surface has been ripped off! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 All stripes are on. Now onto the monotonous job of stencils. Sean 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 WOW I love it!!! Anything with tiger strips gets me! That does look really good with the decals on, no more boring grey that's for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 All decals on. The tail and missiles have also been glued on. Now I need to sort out the landing gear and a few other details. This could possibly be completed tonight Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzy19 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks guys and thank you for organising this GB. I was tempted to try squeeze in a Kitty Hawk Gripen but I have a Mirage shaped itch that needs scratching Cheers, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
