                        I dont do dioramas much, so this is kinda new to me. This is the kangnam 1/32 scale F-16XL kit wit alot of extras from verrlinden,Eduard, and Berney13 (donated a canopy).

                         

                        This was done as a tiger meet bird from the 421st FS "what if" . It took aproximately 3 months to build the XL, and another month or two to build the base, and paint the figures, tool box, and finish it off.

                        Havnt quite come up with a title yet, but the idea behind this is the bird is getting one final system check before it flies it's mission for the day.

                        thanks for looking

                        beautiful work on a big and unique subject.  I remember when you posted the finished model, but the dio base really adds alot.  Great work, I can't wait to see what's next. 

                        One thing to do would be to dull coat the figures a little.  They look a bit glossy. 

                        Again, great work

                        chris,

                        I think your right, so I went back and put a flat coat on the uniforms (I used a semi-gloss) and they look much better.

                        zokissma,

                        Don't have a picture of the radar, but i can take one this weekend.

                         

                        thanks all for the advice and comments

                         

                        jim
