jgrease Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Finally another kit finished! I feel like I'm on a roll- two kits done and it's only April! This is the Kinetic F-16AM kit in 1/48. I built it OOB, along with the bonus cockpit PE Kinetic was offering through Lucky Model. As per information passed along in my build thread, this F-16 is outfitted for an air-to-ground (probably anti-shipping) mission, although I've left the outer missile rails empty. I may add them in later. I managed to mangle the static dischargers on the stabilizers, and I had a lot of fit problems with the panels just behind the nose. Still, now that I've done one, I think I could do better on another Kinetic F-16 kit in the future. Here's the pics, and please feel free to leave feedback: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 jgrease, WOW !! The scribing is very neat and the painting is executed very tidily.. FLAWLESS work . the underside weathering is pretty impressive..NICE ! The load out is good and the weathering is subtle but SUPERB. NICELY built.. HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalo Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Very nice build especially with that lousy kit! I do not like the Kinetic F-16 kits, but you did a great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Very nice build especially with that lousy kit! I do not like the Kinetic F-16 kits, but you did a great job! I disagree that the kit is lousy, but whatever... Looking good I think, the last two Kinetics Ive built had better fit on the nose panels, so it might be fixed! Nice to see such an exotic bird. BTW..if someone thinks I do not know what I talk about, I have built 6 Kinetic f-16's in the last year.... FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgrease Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Finding those decals was like picking up hen's teeth! Thanks for the compliments guys - very much appreciated. I have a Tamiya F-16 in the stash, so it will be interesting to compare builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I agree with gonzalo that Kinetic f-16's are lousy kits. Not easy builds. But jgrease teenager looks great! Steven L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
