  Hi! I am Volkan from Turkey and this is my one of the latest builds. I have finished my F-16 in colors of commander's jet of 52nd FW which is based in Spangdahlem AB. Tamiya's brand new F-16 is the most exciting kit I have ever made. This kit has finely engraved panel lines with rivet details. Besides, I didn't face any fitting problems during the build process. Therefore, if anybody wants to make a correct and detailed F-16, I think, Tamiya's kit would be the best choice. J

  I didn't use any aftermarket detail set, because kit satisfies you by having enough detail. I used Vallejo Air acrylic paints and weathered slightly with pastels. I also used kit's decals, which are a little bit thick. But after application of Microset and Microsol decal solutions, they placed very nicely. However, kit has one big problem which is a huge seam line on the canopy. I solved this problem by sanding the seam gently and applying the Tamiya's compound to the canopy.

  I hope you like my F-16. J
