The F-16D is also entitled to the Aegean Ghost camouflage. These colors will serve as the basis for the weathering. To be continued 😉

A nice kit with photoetched Eduard additions, resin nozzle Aires, seats and full weapon ...
Painted with the MRPaint range.

Exact Patrick Hagelstein, i am inspired by the brilliant book on Greek F-16s from "Eagle Aviation", the same for my future F-4E AUP in progress 🙂 I had to look at all the details... it's really exciting... Thank you Lukasz and Patrick 🙂

Wondering whether this kit is disappearing from the market already, maybe I should get one just in case?

Lukasz: it's true that this kit of the F-16D Block 52 is more and more difficult to find on this scale. So far my build is going well, it's a good kit but it's not the best F-16 I've built. A Revell or Hasegawa kit is better in my opinion. But if you want an F-16D Block 52 in 1:72, no choice ...

Łukasz Gliński
That's exactly my point, the single seaters are widely available, but not the double ones 👍

Looking good! Can't wait for the paintjob. The Viper Under the Skin is fantastic, lots of details!

Very nice painting scheme. Following!
I wonder if this kit could be used to make a two seater UAE F-16, 🤔.

Łukasz, It may be difficult to get a Greek from Kinetic, but you may still have time to get a SUFA😉.

Łukasz Gliński
I'm interested neither in Greek one nor in Sufa, but it has Polish decals included😉

Thank you Cuajete and Lukasz. I think that to make an F-16 F Block60 from the UAE, there is a 1:72nd scale kit from Hasegawa but the box is unfortunately unavailable. Attention, there are other differences for an Emirates F-16F. I think that it is possible to realize it on the basis of this Kinetic kit but it will be necessary to add some elements at the front and near the cockpit and on the dorsal. The rudder tail is also shorter. For this Greek decoration, Kinetic made some mistakes on the dorsal and tail : you have to analyze the real photos of the plane to correct them. You will have to check but i think it is this Kinetic kit is correct for polish version😉

Konrad -
Wow! First I thought what a nice 48 scale Viper but than I see it is 72 scale. Damn that makes it much more impressive! Awesome work on this one👍🏻!
