Tamiya 1/32 F-16 (the big box )

[Mickc1440]

Works getting in my way again but making up so wires to further detail the back end of the cockpit and this really is testing me. Also started to weather the ejection seat which I do have pics of.

I've screwed a few models up, but not together.

Disgraceful, what sort of message does that send out ... ?

Hi Mick
Cockpit details are superb. The seat is stunning. Cracking job, going the extra mile for sure.

which I do have pics of.

That reminds me that I found a site full of detailed F-16 photos a few years ago when I built a Dutch display version. Now, where was that site?

Aha: here it is.

That is really A1

Excellent work on the seats.

Ref the screws, I actually like that as it helps ensure the parts are fixed in exactly the right position. When I did mine I reinforced the screws by applying some extra thin cement as well.

.When you get to the markings do be careful of the Tamiya decals. I really would recommend dumping them for decent aftermarket.

Thanks very much gents for your kind words. Thanks for the heads up Barry on the decals I shall have a look at what's out there

Did a bit of work on the wiring, just going to tidy it up then stop. Could go on for ages but just wanted to fill the space a little. This whole are is black so it will blend in nicely

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Very nice additions there Mick
Know what you mean about knowing when to stop..... It could end up being a never ending spiral !!

I'm afraid any comments from me would be superflous, so I'll just like posts, if that's OK?

Mick,

Sorry for behind on this. Love the additional touches you've added. That's coming on very nicely indeed. Very well done.
