One-Oh-Four

Happy 15th birthday, Jimmy!

Unless you convert it to the model 12...

Looking real good, Remco!

Nope, according to Edgar Brooks those seatbelt were used post-war. During the war the used the old type Sutton seatbelts http://hgwmodels.cz/en/seatbelts/166-spitfire-early-seatbelts-132-132013.html

Congrats, buddy!

Ey Tim, great work!!

No, not really, Mark. The Barracuda resin enhancements are a good refinement for the cockpit. If you don't like the rubber-like types you can use their wheels too. Don't use Rolls-Royce logos on the cylinder heads as the Mk. XVI used the Packard Merlin... You could also use the Master barrels for the "e"-wing, that'll make the guns look super, although usually the cannon and MG-muzzles would be taped when the guns were loaded.

Looking "swell", Paulie!

There you're wrong. Whenever they include decals, the do it in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32. Of course there is a downside to it; you (almost always) have to source your own national insignia.

I have the Roden kit, I feel this book is a MUST HAVE!

The thing I like most about your building is the painting/shading/weathering that you do. It really inspires me, I'd like to get similar results in my builds! Top notch!

Oh, wow! Marvelous, indeed!

Hi Michael, good work! I really like it! You only should have finished it in Dutch colours..... You DO know that Germany is a province of the Netherlands, don't you? No, seriously, I like it. And a scheme you don't see built very often!

Very good, Jeroen! But I already told you that, didn't I?

Ted, I'd go for one of the Fokker D.VII's. One of the last models by WnW, with virtually no rigging so you can for this first model concentrate on painting the parts to look like materials non-WW I modellers usually don't have to replicate...

hahaaa, that's nice! Do you have riders for it too?

Ted, your name sounds Anglo-Saxon to me. If so, how did you end up in Sweden? Asides from the over-abundance of long-legged blondes....

Just do it!!!

Bring it to the contest at Willebroek, March 1st!

Johan, I know you were busy with a 1/32 riveter. Was that succesful? Is it for sale? Cheers, Erik.

Let those Tiffie updates in the GB area roll............

Here's some info on all 1/32 F-16 kits: https://www.scalemates.com/products/reviews.php?scale=1%3A32&topic=General+Dynamics+F-16+Fighting+Falcon Jamme is right. I totally forgot about the Academy 1/32 F-16C. If the Block-32 Thunderbirds-boxing can't be found, you can also turn to the Academy 1/32 F-16CG. The Tamiya F-16 is widely regarded as having a more accurate shape. The Academy kit is basically an F-16C Block-40 but it also contains the small mouth intake and P&W exhaust. be sure to use the non-bulged main gear doors, though, as these were used on the "skinny" geared F-16's.

http://www.scramble.nl/orbats/jordan/overview http://www.scramble.nl/orbats/jordan/airforce This link leads to 80-3569, the aircraft of Lt. Al-Kasseasbeh: http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/airframe-profile/839/ This is the aircraft:

Shit, lost my original reply - Jordan uses the F-16AM and -BM. That is the MidLife Update of the F-16A/B Block-15 that brought it's capability up to roughly F-16C/D Block-50/52 level. They acquired a number of them from Belgium and the Netherlands. * The aircraft has the "bird-slicer" IFF-antennas in front of the canopy * Small intake and Pratt & Whitney- engine * Small F-16A tailfin * Infrared Nav-pod & laser designator pod (don't know if they use them together in 1 pod or if they have separate pods) * LAU-129 (?) wingtip launchers, capable of carrying AMRAAM's * capability to carry LGB's and JDAM's * Most likely fitted with the reinforcing plates on the fuselage in front of the fin and on the wing-roots. * Original "skinny" landing gear. - In 1/32nd there is no F-16AM available. The best option is to use the Tamiya Thunderbird boxing as this boxing depicts the F-16C Block-32 and provides you with the correct P&W exhaust, "small-mouth"-intake and landing gear. You would need to purchase the resin F-16AM tailfin from PWMP and fair it in on the fuselage. Some panellines will need altering. The cockpit can be used as in the box. It is easier to convert the Tamiya F-16C Block-32 to an F-16AM than modify Hasegawa's F-16A Block-15 to MLU standard. The same goes for 1/48, but there you've also got Kinetic with some boxings of the MLU F-16. Eduard even reboxed it as one of their own kits. Even so, the Tamiya F-16 is regarded as the better model. In 1/48 it is marketed as a Block-32 agressor too, BTW. I have no idea if there are Jordanian decals, but Arab roundels often seem very similar, as seem their fin-flashes. This is a quick-and-dirty answer from the top of my head as I'm not in the vicinity of my books at the moment!
