Kaan

They will fit with some sanding & filling .( I'm doing the same for my Tuaf F-4E)

How about this:? :) http://www.runespaans.com/gallery_3d/2001_x35.php

I should have a spare ALPS printed sheet somewhere (which I did a couple years ago), I'll look for it you are really going to build it It has complete stencils for a SEA camouflaged Tuaf Phantom. ( http://ozkanturker.brinkster.net/makaleler...F_decal/023.jpg ) Just PM your address, and I'll send it to you if I can find it.

We really need more decals for the f-2 kit, because it really deserves more than one build. I could do the decals if I had better pictures :blink:

Thanks for the info Dave, I'll correct it. All pictures are on the link I provided on the first post, I have some pictures of the cockpit, but not the installation. It was a typical resin cockpit installation, some sanding required, but not major. But I lost the canopy seal while sanding, so I replicated it afterwards using fishing line. It was a lot easier (5 mins) than trying to keep the detail and smooth out the resin-plastic interface.

Thank you very much for the nice comments <_< dreammh, Pythons are from Isracast kit. The casting is not top quality, but included stencil decals make it attractive. Cockpit is Black Box, and conversion & decals are again from Isra.

Here it is finished after approx 2 months of work Take a look at http://www.modelsitesi.com/galeri/kaanx/f16barak/ for more pictures...

No, I took it from the Turkish Air Force website.

A nice photo of a Turkish Cougar showing the effect of camouflage. Just to share... Edit : resized the photo. Here is the original :http://www.hvkk.tsk.mil.tr/Gururumuz/KARTAL/11.jpg

I'ver ordered over 20 times from them. They have excellent service. Recommended. The only drawback is that you have to send your order using e-mail. Sending your credit card number with e-mail is not a bright idea, I have a virtual credit card, and I can set its limit. If your bank does not have that kind of service, using Paypal is the best option.

And rainbowten.co.jp Same good service as luckymodel. MrColors are also very good at freehand airbrushing with its self leveling thinner as Mike said. They never clog your airbrush Another example:

Anthony, the canopy is just polishing with tamiya compund and wax. I do not dip them into future.

Printed and applied exhaust petal decals. I prefer decals over masking because it is faster, easier, and looks better.

I removed the masking, it's nice to see that there are not paint bleedings. I'll put the canopy stiffener decals (remember the artwork I shared a couple of weeks ago) and do a final polishing with Tamiya wax before attaching the canopy. (It's the last thing to do before put the model onto the shelf)

Thank you for the nice compliments :) Here is the result of a Sunday's work. Weathering and matte coating complete. I did not weather it much, just enough to give the impression of a used machine. But somehow the weaprhering appears more lighter in the picture. In reality it's a little more dirty.
