  1. Be advised - this aircraft is a Block 30F and should therefore thve the Big Mouth inlet, which is not included in the kit. Andre Thanks for your concern, but one of my CJ kits (Taxi Cab I think) has donated the wide mouth intake. :D
  2. Habu, Work keeps getting in the way and building specific aircraft (which will appear on ARC in the near future :D ) for a comp took me away from this one, also his mate the F-16B has caught upto the same stage of build. Trouble is I lose another 4 days Thurs - Sun, this coming weekend due to family reasons. :D
  3. Gary, I've had experience with what you describe when cutting these off, but I find it easier to paint them this way and I have and old pair of electrical hobby cutters that have remained incredibly sharp over the years that seem to be able to cut them off easily. Thanks also for your kind words on my model.
  4. The undercarriage painted. That's it for this week, hopefully this beast will be finished before our next club meeting in two weeks.
  5. Due to work getting in the way I haven't been able to do much to this beast until the last couple of days, however here are a couple of more photos of my Hasegawa F-16C Wisconsin ANG. The mess in the preshading photos is the result of an experiment that went wrong but can be hidden under a coat of grey paint. Basically I put too much black paint on the model in an attempt to preshade the panel lines and then had trouble getting it off. Teach me to use Acrylics for preshading.

  9. This was taken by me earlier this year and is one of my favourite vintage aircraft.
  10. Wednesday night in Aus after returning home early from an interstate trip I decided to detour to one of the local hobby shops on the way home from the airport to see if they had received any of the Revell F-16B kits yet, and was met by a disappointing "no it's still not released in Aus yet" . So I put two on back order and bought a Revell F-16C instead to make up for my disappointment. :o
  11. Not today but Wednesday as I was away on Tuesday when they arrived. Both of Vince Maddox's 1/72 F-16 Decals sets. :o These are lovely and I'm looking forward to doing the Tacos aircraft I'd like to thank Vince for his prompt service and quick replies to my e-mails that I sent him. About 7 days from order to delivery in Australia from Alabama.
