Italeri 1/48 F-16a


Recommended Posts

I built this F-16a for the F-16 group build.

The Italeri kit is certainly not the best out there and some of the kit leaves a lot to be desired, especially the cockpit tub. However, by fettling the eduard cockpit zoom set for the Hasagawa kit and adding a Quickboost resin seat dressed it up and made it acceptable.

great modelling work!

 

yes, the kit leaves much to be desired, mostly one can spot the Italeri features ;)

 

one thing Italeri cannot be blamed though is that you chose the wrong engine! the exhasut nozzle for the PW powered A model is the other one provided in the kit. you chose the oppropriately open, but GE type one...
