JP34 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Hi, This is my contribution to the Group build. The well known Tamiya F-16 Thunderbird in 1/48th. I am using the Afterburner Test Viper decals, Dr Pepper War hud and left side HTS pod (hope i get them this week) Shawn Hulls Sniper pod, and crossdelta's stiffener plates. The Kit The Decals. And this is what i have done this afternoon. Hoi, Jan And a Link to the real F-16. (www.airliners.net) Edited February 1, 2009 by JP34 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viper01 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) No more Tornado GR4? :blink: Nice choice for the decals, I have the same set... (again) Remy.. Edited February 2, 2009 by Viper01 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JP34 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hey Remy, The Gr-4 is a very demanding build , so i switch between de Tor and the Viper. Going to scratch build some wheel bay interior in the Tor.The Viper is almost a out of the box, so its "relaxing" Didn't do much today,only placed the CrossDelta plates :blink: Hoi Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 This should look good with those markings and the HARM and sniper pods on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I was hoping someone was going to do a Nellis Blk 42! The decal sheet is great and so is the kit. Whats your opinion on the Dr. Pepper WAR hud? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderGrunt Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I will be watching this build as I want to do a Block 42 as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JP34 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Hi As promised, Some decalsetting is visible (daco) Not the best pics but it gives you an idea how it looks. Hoi, Jan btw, why can't i upload pics from my Photobucket account? Edited February 13, 2009 by JP34 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viper01 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Tail is looking great! Hope to see any more progress soon! Remy.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Storm Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Very nice! I'll be building this bird as well, but in different markings. I think in the last 3 years alone the 442 has had 3 different markings applied. What kind of load are you going to add? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volzj Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 What are you going to do about the bulged gear doors, heavyweight gear, landing lights etc... since you're using the T-birds kit? Or does it have the new Block 52 items in the box, since that's what the T-birds are now flying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I hate to rain on your parade,but, you got the decal on the wrong side of the tail. The Tamiya Thunderbird is a Blk 52,and has the heavyweight gear. Curt Edited February 18, 2009 by Netz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
