Hi all,
here is one of my incursions into the world of the flying things.
This is the 1:32 Hasegawa F-16A with the Super Scale decals of the Arizona ANG and the Verlinden ACESII seat.

I did't even try to weather it as I feared too much to mess it up ! Easier to do with a tank :-)
The crack in the canopy is unfortunately due to a mishandling during the build





More pics in my gallery. BTW if anybody knows how to move these pics into the Modern Aircraft section of the gallery, I would be grateful to hear of a solution.

Nicely done! Well, weathering AC is a bit complicated (and too risky). Even without weathering, your model looks superb, just like a new AC out in the field. I see some silvering on the decals. Did you tint the canopy or was it just a plain clear plastic?

What brand of paints did you use?

Hello Olivier,

Very nice clean build. Decals are great.

cheers,
David

Thank you both,
some explanations :
the canopy is out of the box. I just sanded off the molding seam on the top of it ;
the silvering on some decals are visible on the Hasegawa service stencils, the Super Scale decals are so thin that they look painted on the real model ;
The paints are from the Airbrush series of Prince August which fortunately provides the good FS shades.
