F-16 models
in 1/32 scale
F-16C "late Block 52D" using the Academy kit .... back to page A1... The Academy kit of the F-16CG/CJ block 40/50 (52D) had been assembled and was ready to get it paint scheme.
These colours are similar to the F-15 Eagle "ghost schemes". I applied the LIFECOLOR acrylics with the Badger 150 airbrush. The paint was thinned with car wiper fluid. Details were painted with a brush using acrylics paints using the very good kit instructions. |

Behind the ejection seat, some additional detail was seen on pictures that were "forgotten"; these were added from stretch sprue and rod after studying some more pictures.

The model was now to receive its decals. But before applying the decals, the model got a couple of gloss coats of Johnson Future using the airbrush. Decalling took off course considerable time as you can see there are many decals also on the KF-16. Each back of a decal were slided through an amount of Future to improve adhering. Carefully press each applied decal with a cloth, it will prevent air bubbles to create "silvering" after drying.
The model was
now ready for final decalling. The kit decals are excellent and made by
Cartograf of Italy. This gave no problems.
