PNW_Modeler Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I am going to be building Hasegawa's 32nd scale F-16C with Elite Decals Code One Candy markings...complete with nose art of a lovely young lady posing with a flight helmet. The kit will be completely rescribed, nose to tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) I've been spending most of my time on this one with a pinvise and rescribing tool in my hand so not a lot to show yet....but I do have the cockpit competed and ready to go. I've found the secret to a great looking cockpit is Citadel "Skull White". The stuff dry brushes like a dream, comes off the end of a bomboo skewer perfectly for hitting all the little buttons and stuff....really awesome stuff. I also used the old AmScan confetti trick for the screens. I am probably 75% complete with the rescribing, I just need to roll over the wings with the pounce tool to give it some rivet detail and then a few more lines here and there and then give it a good nose to tail sanding and then go back and retouch. I hope to begin construction in a week or so. Loadout will be ALQ-119 centerline, fuel tanks on the inner stations, AGM-65 Mavericks on the middle station, no pylon on the outer and of course AIM-9 Sidewinders on the wingtips.

PNW_Modeler Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 I had to rush off to work before I could get some updated pics.....but the good news is scribing is complete and construction has begun! I was able install the intake this morning before leaving for work. I hope to have the fuselage sealed up and get a few pics tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Well that is gonna be one lovely build to follow... I see that you have started with the Cockpit and looks good{ but the lighting is too bright so I miss the detailing that you have done}. I am looking forward to the scribing....it should be good ... you build very nice models. HOLMES :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Construction is flying along on this....this is where old kits pay off, before they started over engineering everything. A close up of the scribing job...the nice thing about the Seahawks sucking it up last week....I got a TON of scribing done! Some better cockpit shots..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 nice work so far. speaking of over-engineering, I tossed out the whole gun assembly from my A-10A kit, what's the point? no one will see it in there ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
