1:48 F-16CJ (Tamiya)


Recommended Posts

I've done this as a motivational aide. As motivation is something i'm sadly lacking (ask the people who i work with!!).

Anyway, I'm doing this kit as a 52 FW a/c from the op telic era. so far, i've got the kit, hasegawa weapons set D, Eduard boarding ladder, Shull24's SNIPER pod, GBU-38's and the BRU-57 (on order) and the Afterburner Decal sheet 'The Big 22'.

I should have most of the ordanance done later on tonight, so i'll post some pics then. Any help/comments appreciated.

Mat.

Hi Mat, Looking forward to seeing your build as I have just ordered this kit this week, I will be building mine straight from the box with TwoBobs decals.

Where abouts in Lincoln are you fella? Have you heard of S.L.A.M (South Lincolnshire Association of Modellers) we are a new club that is growing all the time with some Awesome modellers, like Geoff Coughlin the author of some of the osprey modelling series of books. Heres a link and let me know if you fancy coming along to a meet, are next outing is the Milton Keynes show on the 1st Feb.

Well after having my airbrush go u/s on me the other night i've finally finished banging my head off the wall and started doing some of the other bits that i can do before a coat of paint is required....

AIM-120, just waiting for a coat of future before it gets weathered (a little) Also needs a touch up on the grey.

GBU-38, again needs a coat of future and the cone painting black/copper.

Front u/c bay, i know the pipes are probably (more than likely) in the wrong place, but it makes the thing look a little busier.

The nose of the Jdam is good as you have it. Maybe make the pointed cap on it a darker grey or olive drab. Its just a screw on plastic insert. The attachment screws and straps on the front fin package are brass or aluminum but very small.

Well it's been a while but i've finally got some progress done on this A/C (it's just coincidence that it's the Hendon Model Show this weekend?!?!?)

I'll be posting more over the next two days (which is when i'm looking to get it finished)
