I made a big mistake with my flat coat in the end so i had to weather the aircraft more then i would have liked. But i managed in the end. Still not perfect But that is what you get when you try the airbrush for the first time. I still hope you guys enjoyed this build.

Cool! I'm thinking of build up a 1/48 falcon in topgun camo, got many inspiration from your results.

Great job on a rather basic kit. Well done! I'll copy the additions behind the seat for my Block 10 machine.

Looks great
Very good for a first airbrush
Thanks for all the pics and info
I hope to get my first airbrush sometime sune
So it was all very interesting to me
I love that you shere all the build pics
And most important the challenges you had
At the end you still got a great model out of it
Looks like you got years of experience

Thank you Djordje, Maciej and Jv. Good luck with your block 10 f-16 Maciej I hope my build can help. Nice to see you like al the build pictures Jv. I wanted to wait with the airbrush until I got some exprience with most modeling Challenges. I'm very happy I got one. Making schemes with a airbrush is so much fun.

While it certainly looks a bit too weathered in some areas, it looks great nonetheless! 👍 I also like the tailart with the eagle.
If this is your first airbrush kit, I am looking forward for your future models!

Thanks Alexander. The mistake was really bad so i had to cover it in some way. I'm still reasonably happy with the result. This was my first try indeed with the airbrush so making mistakes is part of the game.

Haha yeah Vincent, you did it better than me for the first airbrushing.
Hmm, I think for F-16 in 1/48 scale Tamiya is the best kit. Maybe you can try it some day down the road.

Well I need some more practise before I'm buying such a expensive kit. But seeing the result of the tamiya f-16 builds on this site make it hard not the buy it right away.

Album info

My first try with a airbrush. I used tamiya and gunze paints. I made a big mistake with my flat coat in the end so i had to weather the aircraft more then i would have liked. But i managed in the end. Still not perfect But that is what you get when you try the airbrush for the first time. This kit on the other hand is also not perfect. Had some porblems in multiple stages during the build but i still like the end result for such a old kit.

Modification:
- Added seatbelts
- Details in the cockpit.
- Scratch build hud detail.
- Scratch build detail behind the seat.
- Landing ger wires added.
- Detail in the landing bays.

Mistakes:
- used the wrong flat coat so i had to make the palne very weathered.
- Sanded to much of the rear wheels away so it sits to low on the back.
- I mounted the centre pylon the wrong way around so i can't fit the ecm pod in the end because it blocks the front landing gear.
