Jamme Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Hi Everybody. Here are some pics from a WIP a made for a Belgian pilot who flied with it. It's an F-16B coded FB-17 The base is the Sufa from Academy. I started this one 2 or 3 years ago. As it was not supposed to appear on a forum, there are not so many pictures. Here are the pics: That's were I am now. I have to finish her for mid september and there is a lot of work left...... Cheers, Jamme 2
Jeroenveen1 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Very nice! I especially like the work on the 'mouth' and that cockpit is very nice. Just as Martin I'm not a sucker for these modern planes because there's so little variety, but that does not mean I admire the work you are putting into this. And of course something Belgian is never a bad thing ;-)
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 10, 2013 Administrators Posted October 10, 2013 Ehhh.... hello! Wow... That's amazing. You must have been keeping this quiet for some time! Great stuff. I'm following.
One-Oh-Four Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Really like this project, Jamme! Are you using the PWMP tail-root for it?
Grant Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Aye, aye .... Where'd this come from??? Kept this one quiet Jamme! Personally, I like jets (in fact, anything that flies) as well just because they go very, very fast but some of the colour schemes out of necessity are fairly bland. I tend to like the more outrageous colour schemes such as "aggressor" squadrons. (I would sacrifice certain vital body parts to take a ride in a fast jet - the closest I got was sitting in a Hawk - courtesy of a friend who flew Tornado for a living - and even then they had to pry me out because I didn't want to leave it. ) Looking forward to watching progress Jamme.
Jamme Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 Blimey Jamme, that is nice work buddy. Not normally a modern jet aircraft person but I sure as heck like this. Looking forward to seeing more, thanks for sharing ;-) Martin. Hi Martin. Thank you my friend, cheers, Jamme Very nice! I especially like the work on the 'mouth' and that cockpit is very nice.

And of course something Belgian is never a bad thing ;-) Thank you very much, Jeroen. Appreciate this; Cheers, Jamme Ehhh.... hello! Wow... That's amazing. You must have been keeping this quiet for some time! Great stuff. I'm following. Hello Jeroen, I started this one 2-3 years ago....... It's time to finish her, because the guy for who I have to build it, has a meeting with other pilots mid December....... Thank you Mate. Cheers, Jamme Really like this project, Jamme! Are you using the PWMP tail-root for it? Hi Erik. Pleased you like it. Yes I used the PWMP root tail." At the moment I bought it, JP (Jean-Pierre from Plastic World) had only the root for the Revell kit, so a little"adaptation" had to be done...... Cheers, Jamme Aye, aye .... Where'd this come from???

Thank you Grant. That surely was great fun in the Hawk! I have to paint the F-16 as it was when the guy flew with it. It will be the standard colors, but very much faded. Thank you for looking. Cheers, Jamme
repeater Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Very nicely done so far, Jamme. Very sharp work.
Jamme Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 Thank you for the nice comment. The resin tail base is different from that in the Sufa F-16. We have here in Belgium an other additional ECM equipment and it's used in the place of the tail base instead of the drag chute. We also have the system called "Carapace"...... Don't forget our F-16 are Block 20 MLU's.... Hope this helps. Cheers, Jamme
Jamme Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Repeater. Thank you for the nice comment. Cheers, Jamme
One-Oh-Four Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Looks pretty slick. What's the deal with the resin tail base? Pretty sure that's provided in the Sufa kit? Assuming it's for the -B conversion? The Sufa uses an F-16C/D tail while the MLU's are updated -A/B airframes.
Jamme Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 The Sufa uses an F-16C/D tail while the MLU's are updated -A/B airframes. Correct, Eric. as Holland, no? Cheers, Jamme
Guest Kagemusha Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Lovely work, really like the two-seat F-16's, very much looking forward to more.
alpinestar Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Jamme, Really cool build mate! I love that cockpit, looks superb. The inside of the jet pipe is very impressive! Great stuff....
