desert falcon Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Evening gents Okay, so I’m going to ask right away – @trickyrich can we have an extension please 🤣 Anyhow, this will be my humble contribution to this long awaited and highly anticipated Nordic II GB, which I will (likely) start and (hopefully) finish. I’ll be doing only the F-16, as I already did the Lynx for the first Nordic GB (a lovely kit by the way). Wanted to post some more pictures of the kit, but Pinterest has gone mad so I will have to find a new photo host first. There is obviously a story behind the decoration of the vertical stab of this aircraft, which I will get back to later. But as can be read on the top of the tail, this specific aircraft was used to support the F-35 JSF test campaign. Think I have the paints sorted, so actually there is no excuse for not getting started now. Thanks for following! Cheers Johnny b 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 no worries at all Johnny, you can have an extension......... as long as you finish this build in time! Oooo an F-16 with a colourful tail, very nice!! There's nothing stopping you from building another Lynx, or even building both....except life! I keep telling everyone building model first..... and everything else fits around it!! Good luck with the build, i'm sure you'll complete her in time......... I will almost guarantee it!

Understood boss, failure is not an option Now regarding that lockdown of yours - get vaccinated now - we’re planning a trip down under next August and I expect the borders to be open 🇦🇺 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin H Thank you Martin 🙂 Regarding the colourful tail, this particular aircraft ET-210 was based at Edwards AFB for some years, where it contributed to the F-35 test campaign as a chase plane. There is a nice little video on youtube, for those who would be interested in the story. There's a lot of stuff in the box, but as per the instructions quite a lot of parts will not be used on this version of the F-16. I'm trying out a new photo host (Imgur), so please let me know in case you can't see the photo of the box and its content above.

They're a strange lot over that side, they see themselves as a different country almost! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
