Marcin Wojciechowski Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hello! Today I present to you my newest model of Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon in 1/72 scale. The model was created from the Polish MisterCraft set, which is a very weak set. I modified the model and after the modification it has a new pilot's seat, completed gaps in the main landing gear, a new engine nozzle as well as improved geometry and wing mounting. The model received the livery of the 445th Flight Test Squadron, Edwards AFB, California, February 2010. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerR. Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Great job! I especially like the canopy. Did you paint that or came it tinted in the kit? Volker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomalowałeś to, czy przyszedł zabarwiony w zestawie? Volker The cover of the cabin is painted by me with TAMIYA Clear transparent paints. Before painting the cover was polished by me.

jimmyg352 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Marcin, your build is excellent! A 1/72 F16 is a very small kit & I'm impressed by your ability! I've got an Esci one on the bench & I can barely see the fuselage never mind the parts... Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filbert_Wang Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Wow - have to say that is a lovely job! And a great colour scheme. Can I ask, how did you achieve the subtle weathering on the white? It's not overdone and I think looks like just the right level of shading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Pete Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That's a beauty. Love the extra bit of detail in the main wheel well, more like a 48 than a 72. What is that jig? Where can I get one? I'll give you fifty quid, a pack of chewing gum and a picture of Lord Kitchener for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Outstanding results given the crude nature of the kit. I really like the way your “Viper” turned out and the unique “uniform” makes it look all the better!!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardzo podoba mi się sposób, w jaki okazał się Twój „Viper”, a wyjątkowy „mundur” sprawia, że wygląda jeszcze lepiej !!!!!! Mikrofon I'm glad you like my model :). I like such original and effective painting of airplanes. I am currently working on the F-16C but this time from the Hasegawa kit and I am looking for an interesting painting scheme for it. I am considering the jubilee painting of the 111th Squadron of the US National Guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Lovely finish for such poor kit!.. I had built two samples in past and it costed me several times longer build time than a regular build: I know, the horizontal tails were misplaced but I was really bored of working on these kits...

W przeszłości zbudowałem dwie próbki i kosztowało mnie to kilka razy dłuższy czas budowy niż zwykła kompilacja: Wiem, poziome ogony były źle umiejscowione, ale naprawdę znudziłem się pracą nad tymi zestawami ... Serkan Your MisterCraft Falcons are also very cool.I like the end result of your F-16s. Good job ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
