Locheed Martin F-16, Tamiya 1:72

[fgab18]

Dear All,

 

Tamiya's interpretation of F-16 is an outstanding kit with pretty fine details and easy build. Added only resin ejection seat and PE from Eduard, painted with Mr. Color. The plane stationed in Japan, a few years ago I had the opportunity to see it and walk around at Yokota Air Base (friendship festival). (Some of the static dischargers were broken off, need to replace them.)

Really nice work!  You've achieved some subtle variation in the grey scheme too - well done

Nicely done, great weathering!

[BerndM]

Excellent result and well presented.

Very nicely done. That Tamiya kit has some nice surface detailing.

Did you make your own FOD covers?

Top notch work, that looks brilliant.

I've heard good things about this kit and your build more than does it justice!

Congratulations!

Hi Martin,

 

Definitely, I made the FOD covers using Tamiya Epoxy Putty (smooth surface type).

Superb work, really nice job

I'll have to look into getting some of that putty, might come in handy.

 

Could you show some more pics preferably ground/eye level shots. Would be a nice perspective on it.

Very nice job! I just finished the same kit. It is a good one...😉

 

cheers

So, tell me @fgab18, is that effect simply preshading? 
 

Thanks, 

 

Martin
