David Mooney Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hello all, this is something i've been working for a while....the Tamiya F-16 There isn't much to say about this kit that most haven't already said as its quite an old-ish kit now and been covered a lot, but I'll add to its plaudits. Nice detail and fitting isn't an issue anywhere on the kit. I added some extra detail into the undercarriage bays using various thicknesses of solder wire, Red Fox Studio's cockpit set, mine own mask sets (DM Scale Models) for the insignia and tail codes plus my 'inspection hatches, stencil masks and canopy' set. Paints used were all by Gunze, C305 and C306 were the basic colours and various parts were base colours plus white for variation. I hope you like it :-) Trak-Tor, Pfuf, Copicops and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Nice job. That front 3/4 shot under natural light is particularly convincing David Mooney and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaro Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Fantastic model! I love the restrained and subtle weathering! Fotos are great as well. BTW In your workmanship the model doesn't look 'oldish' at all (if it really is?). David Mooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Very beautiful build David! I really like the low-viz paint scheme you did. The photos with the background and the flag really show the build well. Ernest David Mooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
