1/72 Hasegawa F-16C 162nd Fighter Squadron


Recommended Posts

Just starting this build of a Block 30 F-16C of the Springfield OH ANG.

I'll be using the Hasegawa F-16CJ Block 50 kit as it has the parts to do a block 30 airframe. Decals will be Fox One's Vipers on Guard.

First up is a little work on the pilot and cockpit before painting.

Bill, Check that the decals are the correct size. My sheet had a lot of the aircraft numbers for the refuelling markings in 1/48th scale on the 1/72nd sheet. There was a small replacement sheet for that aircraft as my Panthers were also in 1/48th scale not 1/72nd.

I like the simple but very effective approach you took to the cockpit. I was getting all bent out of shape trying to figure out how to replace the lack-luster seat, but putting the pilot in it, and painting him as sharply as you did, is probably the best solution. Thanks for the inspiration.

Nice job so far. I can’t believe the panel lines under the cockpit. No 1305 panel??? WTH? Not your fault just really bad panel lines on the kit.  I’d expect more from Hasegawa. Keep up the great work.
