Hello, Fans & Residents of ARC!

This is my first time to ARC and here's my humble rendition of the Academy Razorback F-16, built out of the box with some minor scratch detailing here & there. I'm not an expert, so you will have to excuse any technical errors of this particular jet.

Decals were from the kit.

Paints used were Tamiya, Gunze, Humbrol & MM.

I had some fit problems with the wing-fuselage joint and the nose cone-upper fuselage half. Lots of putty and some CA was used to fix the wing joint. I used some scrap stretched sprue to fill up the gap of the nose cone.

I modded the front office instrument panels and seat with some 2 part epoxy putty (Tamiya) to add some flavour. It's not perfect, but at least it's an improvement (to me anyways) to just using decals. Tape was used for the seatbelts.

I suppose the three rail AGM launcher is no longer in fashion, but I used it anyway since I didn't have / scratch the single rail.

Until next time, happy modeling wishes to all.

Questions / comments welcome.
