Red Dog Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Hi gents, Here is my latest model off the bench: A 1:32 F-16BM from the Dutch airforce. This is the airframe they use to test different things from new gear struts to weapons, to avionics you name it. It's called the Orange Jumper. The model is the 1:32 Academy SUFA. Discard a lot of kit's parts. Add some Wolfpack cockpit, PWMC MLU tails and PIDS pylons, Aires wheel bay and eduard Pe. Crossdelta plates, some old parts from an hasegawa F-16 (wheels), homemade decals and a couple scratched parts specific to the Orange Jumper like all the speed cameras, Orpheus pod modified to Instrument pod... And here is what you get after around 6 months of work: The full WIP thread is here: https://reddogsmodels.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/132-f-16-mlu-converted-from-132-academy-sufa/ Decal sheet is also available in 1/48 & 1/32, PM me Edited February 27, 2021 by Red Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
