F-16CG

[Ialarmu]

This is Academy's 1/32 scale F-16 falcon. Iv'e never done one this big before and I'm fairly new to aircraft builds but, It's been
a fun one.

I still have lots to do such as landing gear decals and ordinance yet.





Here it is with 2 coats of future anticipating Deculz..

If you need help with the Ordnance Send me a PM. Spent 10 years loading bombs and missiles on F-16s and F-15Es

 

[Shark]

that's looking good

 

[Carsenault]

I love your preshading. Well done.

 

[k-dog]

Great colors.

 

[Ialarmu]

Hey thanks, I kinda took the 2 greys to the blue'er side as I thought plain grey was too drab. .....Artistc license??

I got some more done on it today as it was raining so I got out of yard work with the wife ;D




The landing gear was a bit of a snot but she's upright now and not a tail sitter....good ol'e split shot.



Still ALOT to do...

 

[Ferris928]

Hoover Dam! That looks SWEEEET!

Are you using Testors Enamels? Saw the ol' square bottles. Brings back memories. (in my case...not the good ones.)

 

[Ialarmu]

I use Tamyia acrylics, If the camera shot was a tad higher you would see a whole shelf of them. I mainly use testor enamels for weathering and and fine detail painting.

Sweet! I am not really a fan of the Viper in grey but yours is a honey!

[Ialarmu]

Hey, Just a big thanks to HWR MKII for helping me with the external stores.

The weapons are being painted as we speak :

 

[elend]

Wow looks very detailed with those decals! Very great. Keep up the good work!

 

[Ialarmu]

Another couple of nights and I may be ready to install the stores this weekend.

 

[Jack-Swiss]

That's beautiful indeed mate!
Keep it up,lucky you that you're about to finish it!

Cheers

 

[Ferris928]

Can't wait to see it with FANGS!

 

[Ialarmu]

managed to get some time last night to get the pilons on, I'm still trying to get the ordinance finished. I have some little touch ups
and other little mistakes to take care of before the final dullcote.



Anyone have any tips on the tail feathers?? I see alot of modellers do them real shiny but most of my referances
show them quite dirty looking.


Clean or dirty?? Hmmmmmmmm...........

 

[Shark]

such nice detail and weathering so far. I say go dirty. But that's just me.

 

[Chas]

Great detail and painting so-far, it looks extremely good to me.

[Ialarmu]

Started adding the fun bits.




Well, I'm gonna just focus on getting this bird finished and get her posted in the finished section.
She'll be back in a few days as long as I don't screw anything up. :-\..... ;D
