Kinetic 1/48 Lockheed (General Dynamics) F-16B Fighting Falcon


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

This is the last kit to make it to the finish line in 2020. It's been a productive year.

 

This is Kinetic's 1/48 F-16B made from the F-16A/B NSAWC Adversary boxing. The decals are from the kit, although I did not like the 'TOPGUN' marking (too wide) so masked and sprayed it. The blues are MRP and the greys are Mr Color. I've really struggled to photograph this one and it's not quite blue enough.

 

The only aftermarket are some Wolfpack resin seats and an Eduard resin nose wheel. The pitot is brass tubing.

 

The kit is a pig that was no fun to build whatsoever. You can read my diatribe at https://jonbryon.com/kinetic-1-48-lockheed-general-dynamics-f-16b-fighting-falcon/

 

Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

 

Jon

Great build, I echo the comments about the build of the kit.

Quite impressive work you've put into this. Especially like the paint job and the fade. 

 

Thanks guy for your comments. Much appreciated.
