The one thing I'm surprised about regarding retirement is that I seem to have not much more modelling time than I did when I worked!

Please put me in as a recipient. Thank you.

My newest build - P.11c from IBG, with propeller from BitsKrieg, gun barrels, aiming devices, Venturi and oil radiator from Master, windscreen and engine cowling supports from Part PE. The markings are custom made by Mr.Decal for this a/c flown by Franciszek Jastrzębski - the commander of 132 Sqn from III Fighter Group from my home city Poznań. I hope you will enjoy.
 

Hello everyone,
 
Here is my 1/32 Tamiya F-16C Aggressor in the BDU scheme. First off, I'm not a photographer, just a modeller  .. The images were taken with my cellphone but hopefully clear enough to show the model properly.
 
Here is the build link:   https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/89407-132-f-16-bdu-scheme/
 
I hope you enjoy..

Hi All
 
This is the Tamiya 1/32 F-16C in the colors of the VENOM - Viper Demo Team. I don´t often do demo schemes but this one was just too good to pass up 
 
I used quite a few extra bits;
Aires Wheelbay + additional wiring Aires Exhaust Quinta Studios Cockpit Kopecky LAU 129 wingtip rails Model Maker Decal & Paint Mask set Bandit Resin Factory Travel Pod  
The Aires Wheelbay is a drop-in fit and essential for any F-16 build in my opinion. Its inexpensive and is almost an exact replica of the real thing. Just amazing!
I wanted to try out the Quinta Studios Cockpit resin decals. At first I was a bit underwhelmed as with the colored PE. Looks good in pictures but...mjah. The trick is to give it a layer of flat varnish. It just changes everything and enhances all the details. Makes it look very realistic. Judge for yourselves - I combined it with a few details of my own and some careful brush painting.
As the Venom Demo Viper never flies with anything on the wingtips, the new empty LAU-129 Rails from Kopecky Models came out at just the right time - The detail just blew my mind - take a look at his stuff - its just incredible.
The Paint Mask set is really nice. I was very concerned that the emblem on the tail would curl up on itself but it turned out to be very rigid and could even be moved around just holding it with a pair of pliers. It just looks really cool painted on. The decals are extremely thin and prone to curling in on themselves though - I had to order a second set to finish the build 
 
Take a look - Hope you like it (If you click the images they will open in a bigger version)
 





 
Thanks for looking

Or how I saved the first model I've built in 20 years from the trash bin.

- individual markings - decals and masks custom made by Mr. Decal.
 

If Tamiya dosen’t do another 1/32, might they release a new p-51 with extra sprue for louvred vent? Or possibly re- do the Zeros and Spits without the toy stuff? 

This ^^^
 
I actually heard a rumor that this is in the works along with many other upgrades to this decade-old kit.  Fingers firmly crossed.  I’d be in for at least 3-4 of these.  

Dave, didn't they do that with their entire P-51D series by just adding a new small sprue to the existing kit and issuing it as a different variant, such as the F-6D and P-51D/K? They would not be producing "an entirely new kit". I don't understand why you are being so dismissive when all I was trying to do is shed some light on why someone listed the P-51K request. The ZM kit does include the part, but it is under size compared to the Tamiya opening. I for one would build a Tamiya MK IV.

Received the replacement clear parts, all ok, apart from a couple of small scuff marks on a rear window on the main canopy, should polish out easy enough, can enjoy the kit now, been under a dark cloud since I got it.

The outer box was also from Border, and a correction, the lid part of the box isn't deep enough either. I originally had surface post, but after watching Nige's reviewand seeing the box, I switched to air...

Hope its a great one gents!  And hopefully spent any dang way you please.  

Happy birthday guys
