Lex77 Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Started the decalling. A lot of work because of the different colors used for the black and grey but I think somebody made a fault when drawing the camo pattern.... Unfortunately there are no reserve white decals so will have to find some other way to get the white lines and stencils. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 some fine work with thin masking tape and then a spray gun will sort that out! Plus it'll look a 1000% better than any decal would. I've done that before of a 1/48th F-16, it's really quite a simple task, and so worth the wee bit of extra work! These panel lines and the IFR markings (now they were a bit harder, so use the decals!!!) were all done with masks. It's actually quite a simple job, easily done on /48th or even 1/72nd, and they look so much better decals! Just careful cut off the stencilling bits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 If the lines were 1 color I would have tried that but with the different colors I don't think I can do that. With some cutting and some other decals I managed to finish the lines; Next update in 2 weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Go on be brave young man, what could possible go wrong! Though you've done a great job with the decal dissecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex77 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 And this one is done! Tamiya F-16 kits are a joy to build and so this was an easy build, some errors which were my own fault. Thanks mods for organizing this GB. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
