QuoteSee guys, it's not that F-16s are boring
I am one of those people. I *hate* F-16s. But I wanted to have an RNZAF one in my collection, and it's just by chance that Tony sent me the one subtype that I've been wanting forever!

Phil - yup! Two days, start to finish! Put the landing gear on about 30min ago, I'll try and get some pics up for you all.  ^_^



Greg and CVIX, you guys are brilliant! Thankyou so very much! I only wish I had Photoshop, and then the Hand Of God would be gone forever. Thank you thank you thank you! Saved to HDD thank you very much!!! B)  :wub:  :wub:


Yannick and BdB: drybrushing. Pure and simple! Two coats Flat Black, one pass with Chrome Aluminium! Nice 'n' easy! ;)


Everyone, your words mean so very much to me. I love getting your feedback, it makes it all so worthwhile. Cheers!

King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

You know, I used to feel the same way about 16's (a friend of mine who works with A-10's calls them "frightened lawn darts"), but after talking to some of the pilots, I've gained some respect for them. They may be ugly, but they can really pull off some great maneuvers.

 Zach, you don't need photoshop to edit pics. It is by far the easiest program to work with, but there is a great freeware program out there that actually will as much or more, though the learning curve is steep.  Download it, and just start playing around...within a week or two, simple shopping will be easy.

Thought you might like to see another, grounded pic of '25, along with EE563. '25 is currently flown by the grandson of Henry Rawiri DFC (Toa Of The Air fame). Betcha didn't know that!

I also hate F-16s, but this is so good! When will you do a kiwi Su-27/30?

:D  I have the decals, bud. Ever since reading the AIR International issue that mentioned Sukhoi offered them to us, I've been on the lookout for a kit. When I find one, or if one turns up on my doorstep, I'll do it! And that's a promise. :wub:  :wub:

I've just finished writing a review for Modeling Madness of the F-16K - here's hoping Scott decides to run it! Until then, here's a couple of pics I took when I was taking advantage of the beautiful, 0/8 cloud weather we had today!







Keep an eye on MM as Scott is notorious for not telling me when my reviews will run!

Cheers,

Zac

Nice shots, Zac! I look forward to seeing it up on Modelling Madness. Thanks for the close up of the burner can.

OH MY FREAKING GOD! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

"A greengasm?" asks Lana.



Oh, that is priceless! Thankyou!  :lol:  :lol:


Oh, I can't breathe! I can't breathe! Oh my!


Just for you, Brian! I may just do you a montage of all my burner cans when I'm done with this Jet Phase.

Cheers,

Zac

Nice one Zac!!!! :wub:  :wub:

Not a great fan of the F-16 but it certainly looks nice in that scheme
Get this Cheese to sick bay!

Mossie

Kiwi green dream machine!!! :wub:   Love the colours, I always liked the Europe 1 Vipers, IMHO the best scheme seen on the F-16.   That NZ A-4 scheme looks just that little bit better on it.

Lovely job Zac!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I might be one of only a half dozen people on the globe who actually love the F-16...and this model of one is no exception.  Your skills continue to improve, Zac.

Love that afterburner can!
