Mr Bowcat Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi Guys, My F-16C Block 30 in the Blue Splinter camo scheme of the 18th Aggressor squadron, Eielson AFB, Alaska. 59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notty Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Absolutely gorgeous finish is fantastic and all the better for being in flight. Did you make the stand yourself? I'm not used to seeing amraams on aggressors, is this a thing? Certainly makes the model more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polybebber Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Fantastic build, excellent choice of markings, paintwork and finish !! Lothar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bowcat Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Thanks Notty, yes the base is just some aluminium tube and a wooden flooring sample. The instructions only called out for the AIM-9 and ACMI pod, but then I saw this pic (https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9259493) which also shows the AIM-120's. I decided to go with that as prefer the look, although I didn't add the external tanks.. Edited May 13, 2020 by Mr Bowcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the Flanker scheme, or even earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasosrr Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Now that is an unusual and equally brilliant F-16. I love this camo scheme, I've wanting to build one for years but haven't dared it so far. Also unusual to see an airplane model in flight. I think most people believe it's a "waste", because one doesn't get to see much of the cockpit, I guess. But now that I see yours, I am changing my mind. It's totally worth it, gives a very special tone to it. Airplanes are made to fly, after all. Great job!!!

Mr Bowcat Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Cheers guys. I like to model them in flight. It's true you don't get to see much of the cockpit, but then if it's wheels down you don't get to see much of the undercarriage or ordnance. The previous 3 I built have also been in flight.
