I take my time for this one, a lot of dry fitting is necessary, my first inpression was good, it will be a great one, i'll hope so!!!!!! greetings, Phil

Philip De Keyser
Here are more pic's from de build of my F16, there is more work than I thaught but its fun to build this one, greetings Phil

Holger Kranich
Yihaaa, nice viper, so far!

stefan natus
Your getting closer to the fun part,painting it.

Philip De Keyser
Almost finisht, this one was a pain in the a..,I had some problems with the matt claer cote from tamiya, it becames totally white, my hart stops ticking, but I had a quick reaction and give it a gloss clear cote and the white was almost gone, oefffff. Greetings Phil, endjoy the pictures

Holger Kranich
Very nice pix! THX for sharing. The weathering went very fine and is not too much. I love the way you made the washing! I recommend Revell-Enamel-Mattcoate. It works absolutely great! My conclusion: Great Viper and superb job!😉

Philip De Keyser
Thx Holger, I just want to try the Tamiya matt coate, normally I take Vallejo matt Coate, I now the revell-enamel coate but I take the step to the acryllics, greetings Phil

Holger Kranich
I too only use acrylics but the Revellstuff is the best i know for this job. I used Lifecolour, Tamiya, Vallejo and all the brands but it always ruined my models. So i stay with Revell Matt coate!

stefan natus
Great job and a nice closure off the year.grzt stefan.

Philip De Keyser
@Guido, I think I stay with the vallejo coate, and thank for the comments, Greetings Phil
@ Stefan, How is it with your project? I don't now the next project, II WW or Jet ? Greetings Phil

Christian Lehmann
Hi Philip,
I am not the expert on US planes but results of painting an weathering looks very good.
PS: I did not do the step to acrylics but I use enamels ( Humbrol, Revell, x-tra) as well as acrylics (Tamiya and Vallejo) mixed up without any problems

Philip De Keyser
Christian, this is the first time I used Tamiya coate, I still don't now what went wrong, I used also the enamels colors that I still have, it's a waist to do them away, I like to work with these one but it's not so good for the healfty, did I ride this good? Greetings Phil

Tim Vereecke
Hey Philip, love your Belgian F-16! This one is still on my todo list!

Philip De Keyser
Thx Tim, I'm sedisfite of the results, still it was a pain in the a.., Greetings Phil

stefan natus
@Philip i am still struggling with the pe bits and other small modification,you know me it's not going as fast as i wish it would go 🙂 c you Friday.

Holger Kranich
What kind of a phantom will be your next project?

Philip De Keyser
Hi Holger, it would be the kit from Italeri, the Phantom II F-4E in the Vietnam scheme with the decals from Aero Master Phantoms over Vietnam, I replaced the ejection seats from the kit with two new seat from QB (QuickBoost), I just started with him, when it's time to take pictures I'l placed them on the net, greetings Phil

Holger Kranich
Yeah do it, i´m still hungry for phantoms!🙂

Marek Swiderski
Model looks fantastic. There is a missing parts on tail fuselage [lights]?

Philip De Keyser
Hi Marek, you are right, i'm looking in the spearbox at a light and I'll placed it on the Viper, thanks for making me attention at this, greetz Phil

Marek Swiderski

Stefaan Hoste
Hey, i heard there is an issue with the nose in this kinetic offering. How did you deal with it or is it nog big deal?

Maciej Bellos
It looks great! Well done!

Philip De Keyser
@Stefaan, I had no problems with the Build of this F16, just be careful with the fuselages, these are in 4 parts, that needs some dryfitting.
