Sorry I meant litening pod

Hi,

Some great work and cool schemes being donein this campaign, guys.

For a couple of years, I built up a stash of Tamiya Vipers without starting on them.
While my F-5E from the Afterburner decals campaign had some paint drying, I started on one. I liked it and soon things were out of hand. Yes, that's 4 Tamiya cockpits at the top of the picture.
I hope to finish a Block 30 in the markings of the NM ANG for this campaign.


Cheers, Stefan.

In 2 1/2 weeks

Well I've repaired my paint job and started decalling. Too late for the Afterburner Decals Campaign, but I'll make this one.

Cheers, D

Good to hear aussman

Hi All,

Justin,
Great progress on your build so far.

My F16c {Block 25} in the Indiana N.G. markings is now a finished project, {I used the Afterburner Decals on this bird} and the only addition is the resin seat.

Having some problem getting my pix up, so I'll post them here later.

I completed my F-16 !! I just sprayed the dullcoat, and added the static whips..thanks for the sprue idea, worked perfectly! Hope everyone likes it.

Here's my finished build!!!




Jeff

Most excellent build sir don't forget to post in the gallery

Here is what my finished F16c has come up like.

great job sir plz dont forget to post in the gallery

Hi,

Yes, it'll definitely be a fight to beat the deadline.
And I have misplaced my NM ANG instructions somewhere. I'll switch to a Block 40 from Aviano, with both pods of the LANTIRN system and 2 GBU-24's.
I've seen two builds of the "Neon Chicken" with that load-out online so far, so I'll build the line bird.

Nice ones, Jeff and Rob.

Cheers, Stefan.

Rob- the finished jet looks great, love the invasion stripes!

Just a question so I'm clear Stefan Buysse are you building all 4 for this campaign?

Great builds, Rob and Jeff. Very colourful schemes!

I hope to get some progress on my build next week.

Hi, Justin.

No, I'm just trying to build one for this campaign.
When I started out on one, I also took some other F-16 boxes out of the stash, because one has to exchange some parts between boxes to build certain Blocks. When I had assembled one cockpit, I found that easy and did the others too. Likewise, I assembled some launchers, droptanks, wheelwells...

While the carpet monster temporarily holds on to the NM ANG instructions, I'll aim to finnish an Aviano Block 40 for this campaign.

Cheers, Stefan.

Lol whoo that was a close one

Finally managed to get to the local pusher when they still had some Mr Surfacer 500 in stock, picked that up along with a refill of sanding sticks so I can get the seams cleaned up on my MLu. Hopefully I'll be able to start painting on Sunday then.

well the gear bays looked bleak and deserted so i added some little stuff just to fill it in some.


and I plugged the intake and the afterburner.


moving closer and closer to paint



hopefully I will make it

Everyone's F-16's look great!! Could I be inspired to build a modern jet too? I hope so, if it could look half as good as what I've seen on this thread! Great work guys. Russell

Fantastic Aggressor Jeff

Airbrushed the main colours on my F-2. Just detail painting, touch-ups of some overspray and decals to go

good work on the camo job Neil
As for me Im painting and decaling at the same tim trying to get done still lots of work but here is some work in progress.....the two bobs decals arent really sized for the hasegawa kit so its kinda hard on placement like

these little mother @#$%&#@!
some touch ups.laying down the black accents,spraying the gear bays and I will be heading towards decaling the rest

build on you guys are doing great

Im glad you guys are part of my campaign and dont forget to sign up for PIN-UPS 2

sorry shameless plug

Finally started laying paint, with the underside Light Ghost Grey. Next up is the radome and then the main coat of Gusnhip grey. Gonna be a struggle to get this one done on time with the extensive decal sheet, but I think I can pull it off. The good news is that I seem to have finally figured out how to get good results from MM Acryl. And the answer is ridiculously low pressures. 8psi or thereabouts

Well with just over a week left I'm going to be pushing it close.wow time flys wish I had more but life will not wait.so it's the final stretch come on folks we can do it .

Moving forward quick, Justin. Like the extra details added to the landing gear. Hope you make it.

I have finalized the very complex color scheme of overall black I have also painted the main details. Next is a gloss coat and then on to the decals. I hope to finish this bird before the end of the weekend.
