Italeri F-16D Brakeet
1September 17, 2020In this kit, the avionics hump is a separate part. The seams are ugly but should be workable with some superglue and careful sanding.
2September 17, 2020The vertical stabilizer is butt-joined to the fuselage. This will require some reinforcement for strength and proper positioning and alignment.
3September 17, 2020I wanted to use 1.3mm rod for the reinforcement but that proved to be too large. Opted for 1mm instead and drilled some smaller holes.
4September 17, 2020Vertical stabilizer with 1mm Evergreen rod, ready for install.
5October 10, 2020Lower fuselage half had some warp that needed to be be corrected.
6October 10, 2020Exhaust nozzle is severely out-of-round. This will require some work.
7October 10, 2020Kit has several surface detail molding issues.
8October 10, 2020More inconsistent surface detail.
9October 10, 2020This kit is a tail-sitter. Added some weight and alignment tabs to the nose.
