F-16c

This is my first attempt on aircraft...

I found a pic of the real plane...

And then you can clearly see the errors..



Comparing



Here I have added the geen light from the real plane, and some thing at the chair...

If that is your first attempt you should be feeling very proud of yourself. A lot of people take may years to get to this level.

Lovely job and I would be feeling quite pleased with the comparison with the real one as well. You can take modeling to unbeleivable degrees of accuracy nowadays but you have to decide how far you want to modify a kit and hat more are you going to get out of it.

I would put this in a place of honour on your shelf as it marks a significant landmark in your life and move on to your next model. If I look back at all my old kits I still have lying around I see how I could have done each one better but they all act as reminders for how to go forward and they all reflect my skills at the time.
