Phartycr0c Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 So here she is. Started 19th July finished 26th August. Speed build of sorts although daily life stuff interrupted so technically could have been quicker but thats not the point. This was built for an F16 mad m8 of mine a a "birthday present" The kit is an extremely worthy alternative to the Tamiya offering. It literally falls together with concise clear instructions.. The decals are a dream as is the fit although the wings leave a slight gap between themselves and the body but nothing major. Now the admission! the instructions are that clear and concise that I cant follow them. Not a fault with the instructions more an issue with the builder rushing and not checking his references. The error was pointed out to me by one of the guys on ARC who checked this thread. I have built the wide mouth intake for the Pratt and Whitney engine with the General Electric tailpipe nozzle! For all those F16 officianardos out there Im a complete Pratt and Whitney! I know my mate wont notice! (I hope!) I paid £34.99 from Telford for this kit three years ago, retail price is around the £65 mark so well worth the money. I enjoyed cocking it........erm I mean building it and only wish i had room for one in my collection but hey ho! m8ts eh? on with the show.

Peter B Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Pharty - old buddy - if you hadn't have mentioned the booboo, I would never have known. We are not all up to speed on jet stuff (me definitely) but the build is very, very nice. I like it a lot. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 very nice, she looks great. I doubt many people would pick up on the 'error'. Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Looks fine to me, but I wouldn't know a Jet if it hit me, and then I probably wouldn't care. But excellent work from you ! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Really nice F-16. If, as others have said, you handn't have mentioned the mistake I certainly wouldn't have noticed it on an otherwise superb build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
