This is Hasegawa Limited Edition UAE F-16E, model was straight build only replaced the resin cockpit and added some Eduard photo etch.
The model was give the incorrect radar, I had amended similar to the real F-16E radar shape, the nozzle can't find a similar resin set, then
I added some detail to make it much better. The Aires resin cockpit set was used, it was not the F-16E one
that was used and instead a F-16CJ resin cockpit! I also did not have the F-16E photo etch
set, so I used the F-16I for this build, they mainly used one landing gear and antenna.

F-16E
has lot of weathering,
I used a 0.2mm airbrush spray a darker edge on the main color, then painted the camouflage color along the dark edge and look like the box art photo, the weathering
I used was clear black or brown airbrush on the surface. For the decals I
used the ones that came with the kit. After decals and weathering
I painted all with a coat of flat base.
