Piero Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Hello, some progress here. The external load is ready with a "drill" of an AGM-65 Maverick. It's a resin missile+rail came from Eduard Brassin. Body and rail are painted in Olive Drab. Under the other mid-wing pylon there is a TER, from Edaurd Brassin too, with 2 "inert" 500lb slick bombs. Olive Drab for the main part of the bomb plus light blue for the front part. Now the engine exhaust : this is a mix of the Reskit P&W plus the tube from Aires resin set. This because I already had the Aires engine resin set... but the exhaust is smaller in circumference when it joins the rear plastic piece of the kit. All the metal colors are from Vallejo Metal acrylics reference. CIAO! Piero Azgaron, TankBuster, patricksparks and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piero Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 it's time to put together some pieces that have been prepared separately. The Pave Penny laser tacker pod on the right side of the main jet intake... You can see also the FOD guard fitted to the main jet intake with the yellow falcon head. Under the belly the big GPU-5/A gun pod fitted with a modified pylon/adapter. The engine exahust fitted... The main undercarriage with cable sand hydraulic lines fitted... Note the red stencils around these panels... Again the big gun pod... The front undercarriage... also here cables and hydraulic lines has been add. Last for today, the ACES II ejection seat installed into the cockpit tube. This part is from the plastic kit... CIAO!

geedubelyer Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) This would look great parked next to the F-15 Strike Eagle demo bird 71-291 that Daniel Leduc is building in the group builds. Edited April 29 by geedubelyer Piero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Everything looks terrific Piero! Lot of neat looking details everywhere. Where did you source the "No Push" placards on the engine nozzle? I'm having difficulty trying to find something similar. Cheers, Chuck Edited April 30 by chuck540z3 Piero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your F-16 "Aggressor" is an inspiration source for my F-16... you are doing a really great work on it!!! The "No Push" placards on the P&W engine nozzle come from the Uprise Decal sheet with "Black Stencils" for F-16s. CIAO! Piero chuck540z3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 What an awesome looking burner can and overall build. I'm a big fan of this paint scheme Matt Piero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissom Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Lovely work, Piero. I'm a huge fan of the F-16 and although its usual colour scheme is probably very effective, it is rather bland. The lizard scheme gives the jet such a sinister look. I love it! Cheers, Wayne Piero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piero Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Hello, I've completed the cockpit and put together all the parts: almost everything is out of the box, only the instrumentation is from the Quinta Studio 3D set. Master metal parts fro AOA sensors and pitot tube. I put here and there some red Remove Before Flight tags as showed when the F-16 is parked and... to add a splash of color. In the next step I will add the underwing pylons and canopy parts... and should be finished. CIAO!

Pete Fleischmann Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Fantastic Piero! I am a big fan of your work- looks great! my only comment is that for the timeframe this jet existed; I would expect the early blue battery to be installed rather than the red- cheers Pete Piero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
