Hi all  <_<

I´m new here :) i´m kinda unexperienced to the scale modeling so don´t be so harsh on me  ;) I really like what if and kitbash builds :)

This is my representation of what could be made from old academy yf-16a kit (1989). I used 1/72 academy model and the revell 1/72 F-16 MLU tigermeet decals, hope you like it...

Here it is:






Here together with F-16 MLU Tigermeet for comparison:







All criticism and opinions welcomed :)

actually it is tiny bit shorter, academy donor kit represented YF-16A and all the moulded parts were smaller that in the revell kit :) its optical illusion i guess :)

my gues would be that the pointy nose and the wings next to the fin (makes them look smaller by comparison) play a big part in this optical illusion ;)

what will be your next build?

i´m waiting a big shiny parcel = christmas :D   there will be SU-30KN, SU-47 Berkut, Mig-29, Mig-27 and OH-60 jayhawk coast defence

but recently i´m been mesmerized by this idea... some of you might think it is a herecy, but why not trying it out? :)


any opinions?

Nice model and as for your idea ? It's not heresy but genius  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Great models, for some of my larger models I use spray paint. I haven't got an air brush.

Great work!  :thumbsup: The Su-47 reversed wing is cool, maybe bulk it up a bit though? Great work mate!

Scooterman

Welcome!  Love the Viper and the idea of a normal wing Su-47 is killer.  Thought-go the whole hog and swing the wing baby!

thank you all :)

i´ve alredy love this site, so many great ideas and even better models built from them :) there in most forums most of the guys argue about what many rivets a wing of mig 29 product number 1346464646 has, what screw is used in something i´ve never even heard of :D :D :D for me, the point is to build something new, something what was never seen before... thank you again for your warm welcome  :lol:
