Nice work on that pit GA!

and this is were i am at on my f-16 gb. i have finally gotten the top and bottom fuselage together and all most finished with the cockpit. all i  have to do thier is the i/p and then add the canopy. and the one part of this build have put off long enough is adding the airintake to the bottom of the fuselage that will either make or brake this build. as that is the worst part of the hole part of this build. so here is the all most finished cockpit

Friend of mine found a conversion for 1/48 Tamiya F-16 CJ to Block 52

I am curious if any of you gentlemen used this kit or know about other conversion sets for this kit.

Azgaron

IL2,

Then I think I'll leave it be. I'll do some minor touch ups before the clear coat. I don't want to risk messing with the paint.

GA,

Looks nice! Those PE parts sure looks nice! Love to see more!

Azgaron

Yeah that looks sweet. 
I like the cockpit decals, that's always a nice feature.

I always save the ordinance for last.  Hate ordnance, LOL.

hi guys here is were i am on o my f-16 build. so far its been pretty simple build with not one bit of puttie so far and thats a frist for me so here is some pics of my f-16. most of it has been done.this tamiya kit is worth every penny of it for a new kit.

Well if that's the case, and it has no visible trace, then I
would just leave it be and clear-coat the area before it
gets the chance to collect dust.  Then you'll have a real problem!

Water & detergent could potentially foul up your paint job. 
I can almost guarantee it will if you used acrylics.

Don't forget to mask the canopy before your clearcote! LOL

Thanks IL2 and Kenny!

No, only where I needed a soft edged demarcation line. Someone told me I could try some detergent and water.

Azgaron

Looks sweet!

Did you use the blue tack on the canopy?

Finally time to remove the masking or demasking. Anyway here's how it looks!

And top side!

Considering this is one of my first attempts at airbrushing, it turned out better then I hoped it would. I used blu tack in some places, but it wasn't easy to remove, although I got the tip to use the blu tack to help remove, it still feels kind of tacky. Can I use something to clean it up without risking the paint?

Azgaron

I agree, that is a sweet Viper.

You build reminds me of my own.  I haven't worked on it
much lately, but I'm building a 388th F-16C as it appeared
during desert storm.  It's fun to do alot of research for a build.
