The dark grey/light grey paint division behind the pilot has that 1/2 circle shape.  Did you use masking tape that can make that curve for the mask?  I have this kit in the stash and was wondering the best way to mask that division.

If you don’t mind me asking what mistakes were made?  

Thanks for posting.  F16 and football.  What a great combination.  Go Redski......err Washington Football Team.

 

 

 

Thank you everybody  for your attention and nice comments.

I freehanded the half circle,felt it wasn't quite right.some of the decals including the big one on the spine silvered despite Alclad and Solvaset.Finally I attached the exhaust cone before I completed the final metal band.For me it would have been impossible to mask and spray thst final band so I left it the fuselage color.But it was really a nice kit,much more detailed then the old Hasegawa ones from the last century,and overall happy with the way it looks.

It is a bit of an understatement to say that is one eyecatching F-16, Tojo.

I like it a lot, and on behalf of us Hoosiers, thanks for honoring our ANG by building and posting this. Yes

Wanted to use these decals and really wanted to do the Tamiya version.It was a very enjoyable build although I made a couple of mistakes.I used Modelmaster enamels and kept it clean.Thanks for looking.
