USMC Herc Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Great looking bird. I have always loved the Aggressor paint job on a 16. I think the weathering is spot on. Now bring her down the back stretch Marcel. Jason Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvdm Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think it looks great Marcel! Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstarr3 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Really great look. Aggressor schemes add so much visual interest to modern jets instead of lo viz grey Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) The F110 is in! Looks like this aircraft did some strafing practice before it got transferred out of Korea (ref. pic above), so I had to add some soot around the muzzle too: Here is the completed CUBIC pod: And this one is done too... I actually redid this one entirely: Cheers, Marcel Edited August 7, 2019 by Marcel111 USMC Herc, chuck540z3, LSP_Kevin and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel111 Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I crushed through this build in order to be able to enter it into a modelling competition last weekend (oddly enough the D scored 2nd place ahead of my F-16C Alaska Splinter Scheme, the latter of which I consider to be a far better model). I won't be rushing a model to completion again since there are a few rough odds and ends here and there but on the other hand I am very glad to have her done, motivation after my third F-16 in a row was running very low and I am now charged up to get back at the Tomcat. More pics over on ready for inspection... Cheers, Marcel Edited October 8, 2019 by Marcel111 A-10LOADER, MikeC, LSP_Kevin and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo59 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Looks great! Really an amazing piece of work. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 It is hard to chose between your F-16's Marcel! The D did turn out really well though... Now that you have achieved Falcon master status, it is going to be good to see the Tomcat happen! Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Thought I'd share this little very obvious trick I used when painting the wheels for this build. Choose an appropriately sized pen cap (if your home is anything like ours you'll have a never ending supply of pens available). And use as a mask accordingly: Cheers, Marcel Edited October 8, 2019 by Marcel111 MikeC, Gazzas and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyrosjzmichos Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Awesome work Marcel! Love the American flag on the coaming. Can I ask how you made that? Edited October 12, 2019 by spyrosjzmichos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you like that! I downloaded old glory and pasted it into PowerPoint. I created a mirror image of the flag and placed it right next to the correct one, then printed that out (after playing around with size a little). I then cut out the combined image and folded over such that the flag is printed on both sides (glued with superglue). I then glued that assembly onto a smaller lead foil piece to enable me to contour it as needed. Cheers, Marcel spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
