We had one group build in 2021, and none in the pipeline.    I think it is time to bring back the Group Build, have fun together.

 

I therefore propose  the  F-16 Fighting Falcon Furball Group build. The rules are simple: build an F-16  in any scale. This includes the Mitsubishi F-2, and all the wierd one off derivatives like the F-16XL ... et cetera

 

Start with a new, or very minimally started kit, use any Aftermarket parts, or decals you want. 

 

The F-16 is used by many nations, with plenty of special schemes, so there should be something for everyone's tastes.

 

We will start as soon as we get 10 votes, and run for 6 months

 

Are you in?

Awesome. we got 10 votes in less than 24 hours.  Thanks to each and every one of you for voting and commenting on this thread. I believe this means this Idea is capable of sustaining a group build, I will go to the group build forum and formally request it. Be prepared to start immediately!

I ordered a Quinta Studios set and a master brass pitot set for my Tamiya F-16C/N .. which I will use to build the SEA camo F-16 depicted by the new Caracal models sheet. They were both from US based Ebay sellers, so hopefully they will arrive pretty quickly.

I will recommend to Steve , he gives the group build a go. I am not sure anymore if the others on the GB committee are even on line anymore.

Thanks Phantom. 

 

are you sure you can not work a trade with Don and whip up an F-16 in 3 days? 😀

We can do Hornets next ... I want to build one or more hornets this year as well. I have been hoarding Meng, Hasegawa, and Kinetic Hornets/Super hornets for some reason. They are like Phantoms, too many nice kits, variants, and cool markings to choose just 1.

Hi Curt!

I'd be in with a Chilean Air Force F-16C

Lovely scheme.

Also, it'd be a great opportunity to ask help to those modellers from Chile, to ask them if this specific aircraft has once worn a darker rudder colour or if it's just a trick of the light owing to the deflected rudder

Dunno whether JetPhotos is allowed, so click here 

Thanks.

Cheers,

 

Gwen

That is a cool, unique scheme, I look forward to seeing what you do with it

I've built one last year

and not in the mood for another that soon, have a bunch of Flankers and Spits in mind. But depending on timing, who knows.

 

Beautiful job on the Big Barak. I have proposed a 1 year GB, so maybe in a few months ??

I think what you are seeing is the blue colour showing slightly through the grey repaint. These a/c used to have dark blue painted rudders as part of the national insignia.
