  1. Hi there TEam another Post from me it has been a while but i am working on a 1/48 scale F16 Fighter Jet from Academy models. first impressions were of a good kit a good amount of exterior detail and a good selection of parts so far the build has been going ok with the main problem so far of the air intake under the fuselage having a really ugly lip when it has been put together, it seems like it doesnt match it so to fix this i have had to bog it up with filler to make it smooth and even all the way around. has any one else had this problem?

  5. hi there guys thanks heaps for all your comments, the build went ok, a few issues regarding fit of parts and the like but it got there in the end, i decided to do one after seeing them when i was on a deployment overseas in afghanistan a few years back. a awesome warhorse that deserves to be built. i have a UH1H that i am going to do in the near future thaqt i am going to model after a RNZAF UH1H that crashed in 2010 with 3 KIA as a tribute to them.
