Hasegawa 1/48 F-16CM Wild Weasel
Posted by Mustang8376 on Wednesday, October 4, 2023 7:54 AM

Finished this build in August but I forgot to post here, enjoy.  This is a build based off of Hasegawa's IdolMaster boxing of the F-16. As with all things, I spent more on all of the additions then the actual model. Fun build, my first Hasegawa kit. The below was added to the kit for this build or used as a resource:

· The Scale Viper: A Modeler's Guide to Building the F-16 – Pete Fleischmann
· The Modern Viper Guild, 2nd Edition – Jake Melampy
· Decals: Caracal: USAF F-16C "Dark Vipers" part 4
· Royale Resin: Antenna Upgrader Set
· GT Resin 1/48 ALQ-184 ECM Pod & F-16 Wild Weasel Set
· Eduard 1/48 Sniper Pod

As with all things, once the build was done I can find were I need to improve, but it is about the experience and it was fun build.

Current build: 1/48 Monogram A-1H & AMT Jedi Starfighter.

Yes it is the new Have Glass V scheme.  The paints used were Vallejo Model Air.  I forgot the FS numbers off the top of my head, but I believe it is FS36170 (VAL 71.280) for the dark color and Dark Ghost Gray for the lighter color.  I would need to check the decal sheet for the color call out.

Current build: 1/48 Monogram A-1H & AMT Jedi Starfighter.
