Lovely, that's me sorted then. TY Niels.

Thanks John, that's a great help.

Does anybody know what colour the belly tank on these NSAWC F-16's are? They look gunship grey or even darker but I have not been able to find a definitive answer. Also, what's the gold colour under the paint - discoloured metal or are they painted gold before being overcoated in the dark grey?

This will be my first prop since...I don't even remember when, probably something like early nineties (when I was a teenager). My plan is to have a quick, fun build without any aftermarket, completely OOB.
Ha! You sound like me.. I've just started building props because I became bored with some badly fitting jet kits. Finished one Spitfire and loved the fact it went together in no time. So now I've accumulated a pile of Spitfires, Seafires, FW190's, BF109's and a Tempest that I need to get through.
I'll be watching!

I have a couple of B's. Both the original boxing and the Tiger Meet. Only catch is I'm in the UK and postage to Canada will be in the region of £18... :huh:

As a buyer, I've only had one bad experience on ebay, and it wasn't related to scale modelling. Though one time I had a seller send me a passive-aggressive email after I paid too fast for his expectations. He said "NEXT TIME WAIT FOR ME TO SEND AN INVOICE!" in all caps.
Thing is, I only bought one model and the shipping was free.
Just this week I won a kit on Ebay with all sorts of explicit instructions about payment and threats of what would happen if payment wasn't received timeously. I waited for the invoice (as per instructions), which never arrived and on the final day of payment being expected shot a message off to the seller asking for the invoice. I received a reply stating postage was free on the item so I could have paid at any time.
Seems we can't win.

Thanks guys.
As it looks like Kursad's decals are complete, I may not need the kit's decals. I should be able to figure out if I need them by this weekend. If I don't need them, I'll be happy to send them to you.That's very kind of you, thanks.

So I have this kit but don't like the scheme particularly.
I'd like apply a scheme that's a little more interesting. Could those in the know kindly tell me which other countries use this particular version F-16? I've done some research and my head now hurts - it's a minefield. First prize would be a Polish bird - is it possible with this kit? I'm not looking to perform major conversion work but am open to a bit of lump and bump removal.
I was thinking these decals (top option #4082) and the above kit
to get this result (also #4082 without CFT's)

I have a very old and scratched spare sprue. No cracks, just scratches that'll come right with a bit of polishing! PM me if you still need it.
-
Nice mix. I like the Phantom especially.
-
Looks great, nicely done!
-
Excellent. I hope you'll post up the pics when it's done :)
-
Lovely job. The photography really sets it off!
-
That looks great. Excellent finish!
-
Thanks Mario and others.
The paints were (lightest to darkest) Hu127 (FS36375) , Hu156/Hu34 (FS36270) and Hu125 (FS36118). Are you planning this build too?
-
Great paint job, well done! Which techniques did you use for the weathering?
Arnaud
Nothing special Arnaud, just a mix of pre and post shading, then pastel work using cheap eye make-up.
Thanks for the comments everyone :)

My second completed kit of the year. At least, I'm calling this one done until such time as I can get hold of an ACMI pod, then I'll mount both it and the dummy AIM-9.
1/48 Hasegawa kit, Twobobs decals and painted with Humbrol acrylics.
Thanks for looking.
-
Lovely job so far, especially the paint work.
I'd be interested to know if you had to reposition the canards of the HB kit. I've put their 'C' version together and the canards were set quite a way back compared to the Revell version and pictures of the real thing. Have they corrected it on their 'M' boxing?
-
I feel for you - mines been nearly 3 years in the making because of the horrible nature of the kit. Probably the worst (in terms of unnecessary clean up of parts and poor fit) kit I've tried to tackle. Keep at it.
-
They are aware of it. I haven't checked back in a little while but the consensus seems to be (or was a few hours ago) that it's a false flag.
-
I've tried registering there a couple of times in the past and can never get past the anti-bot bot, even after jumping through the hoops as requested. Just throwing that out there in case anybody with the keys to the place sees it :)
-
I never tire of seeing threads like this B)
Just a question, not a criticism at all, but don't you guys who specialise in one type get tired of building the same kit?
-
Nice start. I'm busy putting together the Hobbyboss version as the black single seater prototype. Though it's pretty much a copy of Revells kit, it unfortunately is a little rough around the edges. But now I know, Revell every time from now on.
Anyhow, I look forward to seeing more of this.

Glad to help, Woseck.
And yea, I've seen you lurking over on the SAAF forum

I've had my ear to the ground about this for about a year, even asked on Kinetics Facebook page without reply. So, no idea and will just have to wait patiently.
EDIT Scalemates actually says released already (2018) but that can't be true. I remember it from around this time last year because I was going to want one for Christmas.
