Type “F-16A” in the Greatmodels search area and go to the next page, tons of stuff.

22

I would like to get in this one as well. Just got my Black Box 1/48th F-16C Block 40 cockpit and 149th TFW TX ANG decals…Now for a kit… my kingdom for a reasonably priced kit! Most likely it’ll be Hasegawa’s newish 1/48th scale F-16C kit…

23

thanks anthony going there now :slight_smile:

24

I went to my LHS today on the way home from school and picked up a Italeri F-16A/B NATO Falcon and Hasegawa F-2A/B. Hopefully I can convert the F-2 into a F-16. If anyone has tried this is it easy to do?

25

Why would you want to convert it?? Why not just build the Italeri??

26

I was alreadt planning to do the Italeri. But I also wanted a second F-16 for the build and I have bought the only F-16 kit at my local LHS.

27

Oh ok.

Anyone come up with a badge decision yet??

28

Mr. Chex,

Its gonna be a really hard conversion, dude. I’d go with the “what if”, if anything. Wings are different, cockpit’s different, its a bigger aircraft. I’d just hate to see you get frustrated with a really good kit!

Just my $.02

Everybodys said it is going to be really difficult to do the conversion, so I might do something like the F-16G

30

Yeah - or you could just do the F-2…
It’s close enough to an F-16 to count, and it would add a nice dimension to the group build.

Personally, I’m hoping that you’ll do something creative with it, like that 16-G :slight_smile:

31

If this GB still open. I would like to join. I’m about to finish my F-15 for the F-15 group build and looking for another GB to join. I primered all my parts last night and going to work on the cockpit this evening. I will post what version I am building later tonight.

32

Put me down for this GB too.

I haven’t got my kit yet, but I’ll probably do a Hasegawa 1:48 F-16C

33

Great, more people!

I just placed a order with GM for some update sets for my Block 30, can’t wait!

34

I really liked Anthony14’s idea with the original Viper patch.

I was originally just going to clean up the text, but I ended up creating
a variation of his design. What do you guys think? To me, it almost
looks like it’s made from real threads!

I’m really looking forward to the group build; my first.

35

Love it windhawk! I was thinking the same but I swiched my mind and went with what I did…

Anyway, this does look real!

What you guys think?

This would be an awesome paint scheme to see on a model:

Or if somebody was really good they could pain this scheme

http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item34414.html

There is probably no way anybody could paint the second scheme.

[#offtopic]

I’m thinking about painting one of my F-104 and one of my F-16 is the exact same color scheme sense the F-16 replaced the F-104 in the NATO fighter Role.

37

Cool, you could paint the second, but the way I see it you would have to use decals for the stars, other than that, it’s all masking.

btw, I plan on doing mine in Greek - Hellenic markings…

38

I’m not that good at painting models, and besides I don’t even own an airbrush.

39

Oh ic, well, even without a AB, it would still be possable because it’s stright masking, you could use spray can of brush a few coats on.

I would strongly recommend getting a AB, I own a Badger 155 Anthem - dual action and I love it! Picked it up cheap too off ebay.

EDIT: To be more exact with what I am doing for my F-16, take a look at this picture…

And theres a few more on www.f-16.net
