Kaireckstadt Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 Before I start with my Tornado I want to show you some pics of my Tamiya F-16 Fighting Falcon. I build this kit OOB except an Aires bangseat and lots of scratchbuilding. Gunze Colors were used for the painting. Handpainting the cockpit is a challenge but made a lot of fun. That‘s all regarding the F-16. Will complete the Mirage III diorama and then move on to the Tornado. 4 3
GazzaS Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Beautifully done, Kai! Love the detail and main fuselage painting and weathering. Top result! 3
mark31 Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 I love it Another great model on display. Mark 3

GusMac Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Great build Kai. It's a great kit - I built mine as an IDF bird but not as colourful as your Mirage! 4
Kaireckstadt Posted September 11, 2021 Author Posted September 11, 2021 Thank you for your nice feedback Gus. Do you have a picture of yours or did you post an article here? You know I love the IDF camouflage and I‘m very curious to see yours! BTW: How about Your Cheetah? Can’t wait to see her finished… 3
Rod Bettencourt Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 Very cool!! Thanks for sharing. Rod 3
Peterpools Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Kai Awesome Viper - perfect build. I built the same Viper a number of years ago on LSP and an amazing kit. I couldn't find any pics, so I did a search for it on LSP for an image to post. Not in the same league as yours and sorry for the image quality. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 13, 2021 Administrators Posted September 13, 2021 A flawless build, and unlike the majority of us mere mortals who load on the Aires to show our extreme laziness towards scratchbuilding, (yep, that’s me, I only do it when needed, and look for the easiest way) you took what was there and kitted it out to perfection. Bravo! I have three Vipers in the stash now, one Tamiya, and a couple Academy two holers. I’m scared of jets, lol, and I know I won’t achieve these kinds of results. 2

Expand Thanks for your feedback guys. Yours is absolutely in the same league Peter. Don’t underestimate your builds! Thank you Ernie. I‘m already old so I was obliged to learn scratchbuilding because no resin parts existed… 3
Martinnfb Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Fantastic looking F-16. Bravo! Cheers Martin 1
