Benner Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Being it is January 17th, figured I would start the thread for my current DS build 😉 … another Hasegawa F-16  This one is going to be 83-1145 "Death Dealer". I'll be using a combination of a couple decal sheets for this one. Not sure what I'm going to do with the insignia. It is a different style than all other F-16s that I've seen.   here's how my build looks now. Flaps have been cut and lowered. Used a bit of sheet styrene for just behind the cockpit for the strengthening plate. Not sure if these planes had more at the time. Armament will be 2 Sidewinders, an ALQ-119, and 4 Mk84 AIR which I have yet to purchase.  Edited January 18, 2019 by Benner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Nice! I had to do the same with cobbling several sheets together to make my Desert Storm F/A-18A. Fun project! How are the insignia different on this F-16? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fun project! How are the insignia different on this F-16?  If you look at the roundel part, it isn't filled in like the typical F-16. It is just an outline. I don't have any F-16 decals like that unfortunately ..  looking at this pic below, looks like the TAC badge is a bit off. People can't put decals on properly 😉    Edited January 23, 2019 by Benner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’m pretty sure I’ve seen either an F-15 or F-16 kit with those types of insignia. It was ages and ages ago, but I want to say they came with the Monogram 1:48 F-16. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yeah, they're quite common for the F-15. But finding one the right size and colour for a F-16 may be a challenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weirich1 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Keep us updated on this build. This airframe was one the Block 25 Toledo ANGB had from '92-'94 before we got our current Block 42 Vipers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Angry to see the final result mate! For our "ODS indefinite GB" I'll add an OV-10D in 72;I've already bought the Academy kit,the CMK resin sets and the new Brassin Zuni pods,but i'm slowed by the decals,as look like if no one produced the markings in the correct colors for the sand/brown birds... Maybe someone able to create a custom sheet will be helpful. Â Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kurnass77 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Flawless paint job my friend! About my Bronco,I'd hoped that Caracal will have include an example in his decals sheet but nothing... Â Â Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JEN722 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Super Scale might have made some national markings that fit the size and style you need. Try looking for their US national markings sheets. Â Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
