Scott DuttonThanks, very happy with the result. Most fun I've had with a model in years

Patrick HagelsteinThose Tamiya F-16s are exemplary for the famous 'Shake'n bake' kits. If cleaned up precisely, they just fall together. Nice job on the painting as well! 👍

Scott DuttonPat, have to agree, although I would build differently next time, joining all the top pieces together as I managed to get a slight step at the fuselage join across the spine, gluing there first would have eliminated that. What I like is the thought that goes in, the poly caps and steel pins to hold fuel tanks, ordnance and even tail fin makes it just a pleasure. Thanks for your kind words and Ingo as well, best I've turned out in a while so quite happy.

Patrick HagelsteinYep, recognize that... The Tamiya 1/48, 1/72 and Revell 1/72 F-16 have that spine seam. Getting that sorted out properly is as almost having the kit finished. 😉

Scott DuttonAndres. Alcad Stainless steel and Mr Color 339 FS16081 Engine Grey. Mixed 1:1 BUT I thinned Mr Color to same consistency as Alcad before I did 1 :1 by volume. If straight from bottles you far too dark.
