  I gave up modelling completely for a couple of years, but have returned with greater enthusiasm. The first new kit on a brand new workbench is Academy's F-16CG/CJ kit in 1/32nd scale.  This kit has a few faults, but then so does the Tamiya offering which is much more expensive.   It is however a good foundation for a super-detailing project.  Using DACO's excellent 'Uncovering the F-16' book, lots of plastic card, strip and rod and a good deal of patience.

  This submission shows the surgery required to open up certain bays and panels on the kit.   The white areas are the plastic card, strip and rod used to create the inner parts.

  I wanted to show that underneath the sleek lines of an aircraft is a mass of metal ribs, bays, electronic boxes, cables, relays, computers, plumbing etc.  The completed aircraft (Part two) will be along shortly.   A bright, colourful flagship Block 50CJ of the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB.
