Great work Iain. Are there any developments regarding the 1/32 Tornado F3 conversion set? I wonder as I may "refresh" my 1/32 Tornado ADV F3 decals designs made ages ago since I restarted some decals custom printing. Best regards, Meindert

Thanks for sharing! What is nice of this video is that is shows that the YF-16 actual first flight occurred accidentally during a high-speed taxi test on 20 January 1974. Great pilot recovery by Phil (Some 40 years later I made a model of the first F-16 J-212 manufactured by Fokker in The Netherlands for the Fokker test pilot Henk Themmen). Last year I was lucky to buy at a club meeting the original first 1/32 Hasegawa YF-16 kit at a reasonable price, the parts were still sealed in plastic. A real CLASSIC! Quite a few 1/32 F-16 models were made over last decades by me (see webpages here).... ... but if LSP starts an F-16 Group Build... I am in..... as tribute to build this old kit almost as "straight out of the box". We had no info than!

I purchased an OKI printer secondhand but as you know... a lot of money. Hey, life is too short

As I want a model of "all the World air forces" (post-war > 1945) I found that many decals are non-existent (or out of print). So decided to do home decal design and arrange OKI laser printing that can print "white". In the last few years, dozens of decal design have been made. The various models are seen on my website and some of these decals are shown on my decal pages here..... Interested in a decal sheet or have a specific question? See the page how to email me.

as planned EURO SCALE MODELLING Saturday 25 November 2023 in Expo, Houten, The Netherlands (All tables fully booked with over 3,000 visitors expected) ALL INFORMATION on: https://euroscalemodelling.nl/en/ Hope to meet many modellers at the ESM

Some Telford photo's of mine have been published on the IPMS.Nl website: contest and also general views. Visit https://ipms.nl/artikelen/specials/artikelen-demo-teams/smw-telford-2023-impressie

I think this model was 1/35 and fully scratch built!! I had a great look at it and it was unbelievable !

me, myself and I and my modelling buddy Peter will attend SMW the whole weekend November 11/12. That was about 10 years ago since the last time since we took the ferry to islands. I also will bring along some custom printed 1/32 decals sheets on request from some guys (saves postage) and a few decal prints extra as well for those interested. Hope to meet a lot LSP members and looking really forward to this show. -------- some of these decals can be seen at my website. I have added an extra decal page on request. https://aircraftinplastic.com/models/decals/decals-page.html

I looked at my stash and found 2 F-16 XL kits with the plan to use both to make a more accurate kit.... Any progress on this one?

I forgot to add that I have made several 1/32 F-16 kits. My modelling reports may help to see what can be made from the various kits. https://aircraftinplastic.com/models/F16-32/f16-32.htm

Academy had a two seater F-16 in 1/32 If you want the main kit to be Tamiya and can do some scratch building, using a two seat canopy from AFV Club will fix the main canopy issue of the conversion. see Scalemates link

I would rather have a good 1/32 AH-64D kit. The Revell 1/32 AH-64A is quite old and would need a lot of conversion to update to a -D Never went into 1/35 scale as a model in volume would be about 30% smaller than a 1/32 model and that really shows.

is this an enamel paint or an acrylic ??

Completed a 1/32 Echelon vacuform kit of the English Electric/ BAC Lightning F6. I had made another Echelon Lightning vac kit decades ago, this is the second Echelon Lightning model in the collection. This time with new modelling paints and other extra's as it was made as Mk. 53 K of the Kuwait Air Force with home designed decals. For full modelling details, look at my modelling report here... Or my YouTube video here...

Completed a 1/32 B.A.C Lightning T4 trainer conversion, combining the Trumpeter kit + Whirlybird trainer set. Designed the Saudi decals, had these custom printed and set these on the model. [ NOTE: corrected the tail flags and put new photos ] Hope you like it . More details at my webpages here.....
