Tools for cutting the runners. Eduard uses the easiest was for casting which doesn´t always mean it´s the easiest way for the modelbuilder, too. 

Result after the surgery. 

Remembers me a little bit of a Su-27 only just half the size 

I´m not an expert concerning F-16s but where I find some points possible easily to cerrect to resemble the original I´ll do it. So the RWR on the wings need to be removed. 

 

 

 

 

Initial result of wheelbay weathering - it didn´t convince me so the parts were airbrushed again. 

And now with much better shadows. 

 

Little detail work in the cockpit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pilot in his office 

Opposite to the planes I´m normally building the F-16´s wheelbay is a hell of masking. I have to remember when building the next one and change the way of assembling. 

 

 

Finished Mavericks. 

Basic colour of the exhaust. 

 

And its final appearance with matt varnish applied. 

 

ECM pod still without matt varnish. 

The first time for me to use static discharger. It worked better as thought. Hopefully they will still be in place when the plane is finished. 

 

 

 

During the mottling I discovered that there are some static dispenser, too, on the vertical stabilizer.... 

 

 

 

 

 

Mottling applied 

 

Appearance after painting. 

 

A little spot I have to spray avore again to cover the mottling colour properly. 

Some little damage to the NMF part of the fuselage 🙁 

Testfit how it will look like with the nozzle
