Thanks for the tip!! Will give it a go on the Kinetic 48th scale version of this one when I get around to it.

@Jester75 did the tint using Tamiya clear acrylic(x-24 & x-19 on a 3:1 mixture) make sure to spray it inside the canopy and not outside

heres a closer shot of the canopy

also added some lead wire to simulate hydraulic/electrical lines

I find the lead wire easy to contour and adds weight to the model

and heres how they look when painted

 Started painting the Aces 2 seat and will begin work on the spine........

work on the spine is complete added the correct vent and scoop

painted the added styrene and glued the PE parts that came with the kit

the gun bay was to be omitted they did not include this on the build manual but with a little work this can be added, F-16 with no vulcan cannon does not look right for me..........:D

metal landing gear from Spruebrothers the only aftermarket parts that will be added to this build

Back again to start a build this time a 1/32 F16i sufa kit by academy ,here's the twist .....the build will be upgraded to the newer BLOCK 60 used by the UAE the only AM parts will be the landing gear (white metal) since this build will be too heavy for the plastic one
