    I've given it a couple of coats of clear Joe and it kinda sort of looks ok-ish ! I think I'll just mask up the cockpit and carry on with the rest of the build for now.

    Cheers, Neil

      Hi all. Ok, after getting the canopy to an almost acceptable condition, I now seem to have gone and lost the thing. How? I really don't know. It's not exactly small, and I've turns my kitchen ( and the one half of a cupboard I'm allowed to use in it ) upside down with no sign of it. So before I came across a hammer to do some fine modifications, I've decided to carefully pack it away, and hope the modelling gods will return it in one piece in the near or far future. I have thought of buying another kit, and maybe using the decals on a F-16D, which would make a nice pair, but then saw that Hobbyboss do the exact same thing for less than a tenner...

      As a last resort, maybe an email to Academy, to see if they can supply the clear sprue by itself. If anyone has any experience of this, I'd be interested to hear.

      So for now, I'm going to whip something out of the stash and see if I can get it done in the week I've got off work over crimbo. Hopefully that will get my model making mojo back !!!

      Cheers, Neil

          Bad news Neil. It was all going so well. The F16 has a lovely look to it and not something I've ever built, in fact I only saw one fly for my first time this year. Good luck with your search, a model this good needs to be finished. Any kids around the house ? Their eyes are often brilliant at finding missing parts.
