F-16 Group Build

Lone, you could contact Tamiya for a replacement part. 
Revell has replaced parts for me for just a couple of bills.
So who knows?

zZz guy, sounds good to me!

Good work posted above.  There are quite a few 1:48 Hasegawa's
in this build.  I took a moment to examine mine, and it looks like a
whole lot of parts!  I hope that I can finish it by Feb, LOL.

As for the 1:72 hasegawa, i called it quits on that rear deck.   Now
I am focusing on other areas.  The build up is multi-colored, but quite
smooth and true, as best as I can tell.  I'm eager to apply primer. 
That's always the true test of a surface.

Looks great IL. Since I have five days off I might just get some progress done.

PS I updated the list.

Man, Anthony is fast! Looking good.

Do any of you guys know if a F-16B from the 195FS would carry a set of LANTIRN pods?

P.S. sweet Anthony keep on truckin.

Mr. Chex,

Some quick web research show that they are primarily a training squadron
for the Air National Guard.   Do they train on the advanced weapons systems? 
The squadron office might tell you these details if you call.

For some specific serial number information, try searching for "195" here:

Lastly, here is the ANG photo section of F-16.net.  It is sure to have some
photos of the fighter wing & squadron you are researching.  Good Luck

This is one of the best "how-to" modelling websites I've ever found.
This page describes how to do a chalk-wash:

I followed this tutorial on my last model to perform my first chalk wash. 
It is very easy and inexpensive, and best of all, it is completely
removable if it doesn't work out.

I envision myself using this technique for years to come.  I also used it
to create oil stains, fuel streaks, etc.  See the fuel leak on the right wing:

it's FINALLY here!!

i need to get started ASAP to get caught up with you guy,,,,,one question though,i plan on showing some panels removed and the instructons call for gloss white on the air frame,is this correct or should it be the yellow type zinc chromate?

I finished my bird over the weekend.  I was trying to take pics of my plane over the weekend, but my photos came out blurry.  I do not know why.  Can any one give my advice on how to shoot a model.  My camera is 3.1 megapixel.  Thanks.
