This is something I have been working on for a while...the Tamiya F-16.

There is not much to say about this kit that has not already been said as its quite an old-ish kit now and has been covered a lot, but I'll add to its plaudits. Nice detail and fitting is not an issue anywhere on the kit.

I added some extra detail into the undercarriage bays using various thicknesses of solder wire and Red Fox Studio's cockpit set.

For markings, I used my own mask sets (DM Scale Models) for the insignia and tail codes plus my 'inspection hatches, stencil masks and canopy' set.

Paints used were all by Gunze. C305 and C306 were the basic colours and various parts were base colours mixed with white for variation.
