                Very nice that one Dave. Every time is See an F-16 built, I remind myself that it's an aircraft I really like the look of, but have never built one.

                  Thanks everybody.

                  colin m, Colin I know what you mean. This is only the second F-16 I have ever built, the last one being the original 1/48 Tamiya release in 1976. I don't think I will leave it so long next time round as I quite enjoyed this build!

                      Wow, great finish, I brush paint too, but doubt I could get a finish that nice, it looks so smooth, very cool.... 8-)

                        Thanks. The dark grey came from a tin of enamel Humbrol H125 US Dark Grey that is over 21 years old. The other two greys and the black came from Humbrol enamel tins that are less than a year old. Lots and lots of stirring and many thin coats produced the result you see.
