andrew.deboer Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Here's Tamiya's lovely F-16C, with parts from the Thunderbirds kit to turn it from block 52 to block 30. I have always loved the blue "Flanker" camo, so will be using TwoBobs' Blue Fox Bandits 32-051 sheet along with an ALQ-188 pod from Aires. Paints are Model Master enamels: FS36270 Neutral Gray lightened a bit, Flanker Medium Blue #2131, and FS35109 Blue. The drop tank on the table is a paint and decal test - I know the real planes carry standard-color tanks and pylons. Still need to make a CATM-9 Sidewinder practice round and an ACMI pod. The kit includes blanking plates for the outer underwing stations, so I have those plugged and left the innermost holes, just in case I ever want to have it carrying tanks.

andrew.deboer Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Here's the instrument panel. I punched individual instruments from an Airscale sheet. The center top unit needs some help with its buttons; I'm not sure how to fix that. I'm debating whether to put in some round gauges on the right. They are pretty much invisible when the panel is installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) So so much for the in-progress shots. This thing is about 99% done and I love it, but am ready for a different challenge. Practically every decal is TwoBobs, from the squadron markings to the CATM-9 on the wingtip. The CATM-9 was converted from an Academy AIM-9M. Edited November 22, 2016 by andrew.deboer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
