1/48 Kinetic F-16C - Turkish Air Force, 20th Anniversary 143rd Training Squadron.
Buyer beware, if you are going to buy a Kinetic F-16 kit be prepared for a challenge, bad fitting parts and have plenty of filler handy. This particular boxing was missing a couple of sprues that I needed parts from, I contacted Kinetic, they told me they would get back to me but never did. So not real impressed with Kinetic.
Finally finished! If you have not seen the build thread, this is a real pig of a kit, and for those who followed the build, no, Kinetic did not reply to me about the missing sprues, pretty disappointing really, especially the amount of kits I have bought of theirs.
Camo grey colours are MRP, Red is Tamiya XF-7. Other paints used, the usual suspects, Tamiya, Gunze and Vallejo acrylics, Gunze buffable dark iron for engine nozzle. White oil paint dry brushed inside engine, Flory dark dirt wash (really just for panel line wash). Plenty of coats of Gunze Gloss Super Clear III along the way. Decals are Cartograf and performed well. Final coat is Gunze gloss super clear with a bit of Tamiya semi gloss clear mixed in.
I only enjoyed this build once I got to painting stage and onwards, it really was a shocking kit to build.
The base is from Coastal Kits
