Thanks Lukasz, I'm actually done with this one. Finished photos still to come. Seeing Guy's further down the timeline inspired me to add my photos. Obviously I'll be watching his unfold, jealous that mine didn't get the same level of skill applied to it 🙂

A really nice build Gary, your canopy is excellent. The detail of the Special Hobby version far surpasses the old Frog. 🙂

Thanks Guy. I had never seen PE or Resin given I last built something in the 80s as a kid before last summer, or worked with an airbrush so it was all learning curve- fun though 👍

Thanks Maciej.
Getting the last few shots out of the way to make way for Guy, and will be taking a seat there.

It looks great! The Vengeance helped me a lot in my XP-56 build. Well done Gary!

Hi Maciej..That XP-56 looks great and spotted the Vengeance colour reference- more to the point though your F16 collection is immense. 👍

Yeah, I have a "few" F-16s 😄 I started working on one of them and I would like to start another one, but for now I am focused on the Sukhoi T-50 and the Mirage 2000. Looking forward seeing you tackle the Polish "Raven".

🙂 I bought the decals before I've even found a kit. Any tips on the best 1:48 F16c BLock 52+?

Get Tamiya's F-16C/N. You can build any single seater from Block 25 to Block 52. Good fit and lots of spare parts for other projects. Two drawbacks, the lack of a) the conformal fuel tanks and AG weapons and b) the tail base parabrake housing. There are aftermarket for those. Second choice is Kinetic's F-16C Block 52+ Hellenic Air Force, which has everything Tamiya lacks. Fellow modellers say it is kind of a beast in terms of fit but you get a lot of options (flaps, slats, huge choice of weapons).

In case you need any help regarding the Tamiya and which parts are required for the polish Viper just send a pm.

Cheers!

Great looking Vengeance, Gary! The extended speedbrakes are very impressive.

Thanks Gordon. It was my first kit at the start of UK lockdown last year as I got back into it. Lots of firsts- airbrush, resin, PE. The Airwaves kit has what you need if you're heading that way.
