helios16v Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Welcome to my all in one stop of ongoing projects. Figure there isn't much sense in creating multiple posts for each kit I bounce between, especially since there's no guarantee I'll actually get to the finish of them in the window. Original GB posts will be updated w/ progress as I go...for anyone actually following them. Current tally of "active" projects: 6 4 aircraft; 1/48 RAF Mustang Mk.1a, 1/48 JASDF F-4EJ Kai (2021 F-4 STGB), 1/48 US Army OV-1B (2020 Vietnam GB), & 1/48 IDF F-16XL2 (WHIF) 1 figure; 1/24 Japanese civilian (BM 2022 Turning Japanese GB - Boots N' Boost) 1 tank; 1/35 USMC M60A1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 I did get a couple things done on the XL so far this weekend. The cockpit is pretty much done with the exception of the control sticks and seats. I've also begun assembly of the Reskit resin engine. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 at least you've progressed further than most of my "Shelf Queens!!!" That F-16LX is a golden oldie, seemed to remember you started that ages ago.........not that I can talk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu35 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hello Chris, It would be a pity not to finish these models. Shake the box, sprinkle with a little water and the decal session will be over quickly. Joking aside, I would like to see the OV.1 bRONCO a little closer. The paint effects seem to me to be well underway. Regards, Eric-Snafu35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to mix some paint I'm happy with and get the overcoat down. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235078422-whispering-death-ov-1b-mohawk/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 It's been a bit, but back with another small update today. Intake fitted and a little nose weight. Not typically required for an F-16...but the XL has a lot more wing area hanging out aft of the MLG. Figured better safe than sorry. Also started on the gear. You can already see where there will be a little filler required in the intake join. Test fit of the resin engine before final painting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Got the gear finished up and fuselage closed up. Now for the "fun" work. Cleaning up those seams.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 as I mentioned elsewhere, thin plastic strip is your best friend here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
