Benner Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Just starting the thread for my current build. Am using the Tamiya F-16 Aggressor boxing to build a Block 40 jet of the 421st TFS in Desert Storm. Just doing the basic assembly at the moment. Not building this particular jet, but will look similar: 88-0432_1.jpg (1024×672) (dstorm.eu) Edited March 27 by Benner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benner Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Not much new to see, gotta rescribe some panel lines and then it's ready to paint in few days.. The fin is dry-fitted. working on the bombs at the moment, they are cluster bombs purchased from Shawn Hull's line. Will be using Hasegawa AIM-9 missiles to match all my other DS builds. The LANTIRN pod and ALQ-131 will also be from Hasegawa. The Tamiya F-16N boxing unfortunately doesn't include TER; DonG graciously donated a couple. another problem I haven't worked around is getting the proper markings on the fuel tanks. Will need the red circles and underside markings carried at the time, also not supplied in the F-16N boxing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benner Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) slow progress, had decided to finish a Gr1 Tornado before this. Will be working on the weapons and such next. I think i'll put on CBU-58 instead and save the CBU-87 bombs for a 614th TFS build. Edited December 9, 2022 by Benner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benner Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 almost there, mostly putting on RBF tags at this point. Then putting on the last missile, a HUD part, and boarding ladder. had accidentally put on a decal on the fin backwards, successfully corrected it after peeling the decal off.
