That is fabulous! Is there a build guide online anywhere? I'd love to know more about how you added the extra parts.

@Bren Sheenan - Glad you like it, Bren! Thank you!

The process was a bit chaotic and complicated to write down as this was my first modification of a kit when i started in 2014/15.
Anyway, i'll try to give you an idea of what i did:
- DSI intake was built up and sanded to shape with Tamiya grey putty
- Wings and H stabs were an old CD clear plastic hardcase. Cut, shaped, engraved the panel lines and sanded
- Twin tails were from the Revell and Italeri kits, with added styrene strips to extend the base
The rest of the build was pretty much straight forward. You can see more bad pics here: imgur.com/a/zLdBv

I have a new version of this build almost finished and i do have WIP photos of that one here, if you're interested: F-16W NGViper | Project by InZen (1:72)

Cheers

Hi Rui, thank you for taking the time to reply and the links to the extra content. When you break it down, it sounds simple, but I'm sure it was not simple at all. I'll keep an eye on your latest work.

Best regards,
Bren

This is excellent!

Rui Reis
@Bren Sheehan, i thank you for taking the time to tell me what you think of my build! 🙂 It was a bit more complicated because i had no experience back. The second build has been much simpler and easier.

@Ekki , thank you, mate!

Cheers!

on the first picture i thought, "...are there two "empennage"😭?) / rear rudder?!?", i cant trust my eyes - but yes, there are.

Very intersting project and the result looks great. I would have loved to see the construction pictures.

@DominiK Weitzer - thanks, mate! I've always wanted to build a twin tail F-16 and this was the first one. I didn't really know what i was doing when i started it. That's why i tried to extend the wings with Tamiya grey putty. 😉

@Vincent - Thank you, mate! I've just uploaded some images of the build that i hadn't before, check them out. 🙂 And if you like this one, check out the second build that's still in progress: F-16W NGViper | Project by InZen (1:72)

Thanks Rui. Very nice sculpting work and I'm looking forward to the second build.

Rui Reis
Thanks, Vincent. I'll upload a recent photo of the second build.
