CiscoKid Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Cool beans. :lol: The only (unsolicited) advice I'd like to offer (seeing that this is your second model), is to not get excited and rush through it. Relax, take your time, don't rush it. Good luck dude. Brian P.S. Welcome aboard!! Edited February 6, 2006 by CiscoKid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie T-Y Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 i think we ought to take advice from that youngster ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) James, I'm 15 here also, and I'll just caution you that the Tamiya F-16 is a pretty tough bird to put together. Though I know you will handle it very well. I've seen my uncle building the Tamiya F-16 (I assembled and painted the cockpit for him...looks quite good if I say so myself) But that said, GOOD LUCK MAN!!! Look foward to seeing it in the In Progress threads. Rock on! Anthony Edited February 6, 2006 by AnthonyWan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Arnold Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 HI its James, thanks everyone, i will take my time and i need to with this model, knowing me i'll probably spend 3 years on it lol because i like everything to be perfect. I was shocked when i looked in the box because i didn't realise how much there actually was, it is a bit of a challenge really to be my second model. I thought i was the only teenager in here lol. Thanks James P.S if you want to see my first model either go in props and go on 'my first model' and it will be a spit in 1/32 scale or go in critique corner and go on 'my first model' and just tell us what you think. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Awesome to have some teens bringing the hobby through the years. My five year old DAUGHTER is more interested in the Blue Angels and wanting me to build her a 1/32 kit than I could have ever imagined when I was 15 years old. Keep it up guys!!!

James Arnold Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Will do. James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Arnold Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Flying fortress i airbrushed the green and handpainted the brown. Thanks James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkhornet Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 james, since the f 16 has such simple colours i would recomend using spraycans for this one cheap and will get an amazing finish! stav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Arnold Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Stav. I think i am going to use an airbrush because i have a compressor so i may aswell use it, but you are right with the f-16 having simple colours. James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkhornet Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 ah ok im still waiting for my airbrush to come but i always use spraycans for now heres the f 15e im doing now, paint-job came out quite nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
