Oh i see, i have the greatest audience, i could dream of!😄
On monday i received the Gunze coloures, as introduced in the instructions for the desert camo on the boxart. But the bright sand tone definately doesnt looks like the one on the boxart... I hope, i dont have to mix it up to make it look like...
What would you you say? Is a loadout with tanks and bombs unrealistic for such a agressor Viper?

Have you researched any of the images from Google yet on the bird and squadron yet Holger. ?

There are 200 pages of images of just the F-16 there. 🙂

Hi Holger, here is a typical loadout AIM-9 M or AIM-9X and a ALQ-188 jamming pod may some will carry tanks

Hi guys!
By now, i saw them only in dogfight configuration. But i was wondering if they may flew/train bomb raids, too!

Hi Mikey!
Thats what Eduard wrote in their instructions, too! But i wonder why they never have been upgraded to C´s or so?

Oh that helps a lot!!! I think i have X57 at home! The other coloures, eduard suggested, looks as they will match fine. Maybe i give me a testspray this evening!
Do you have a good hint how to make a tinted canopy?

I guess I won't finish anything during the week at Wangerooge, because I'll be watching Holger all the time! Beautiful subject!!!

Hello Holger, also have this kit in my stash, I think I will build the Edwards AFB Version. I am curious about the fitting, as the main fuselage looks a little bit complicated to build...Cheers, Christian

I would translate it to Tamiya Liquid Cement. Or maybe Thin Liquid Cement

That might be the right translation, it makes sense😢
I have to admit, i have no experiences with Kinetic kits, I have a Wingman rebox of their Alpha Jet but i never build one of ´em!😢

Holger: tinted canopy hint: use future with a bit of coloring and voila, you have a tinted canopy.
Here's a link describing the procedure: arcair.com/tnt1/001-..Canopies-Gok/00.shtm
PS: don't be wondered if the nose of your F-16 looks like drooping down... That's one of the mistakes Kinetic made on their F-16's.

Holger, I'm not kidding you in regards of the nose:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/624633/thread/1241140282/Kinetic+F-16+Shape+Problems-
However, they luckily corrected the issue with their latest releases 🙂
it now all depends an which "version" Eduard has used for this reboxing....
I've got ot myself, but didn't have the chance yet to check it out...

Have you ever heard of Mercurochrome. ?
It is the stuff you wipe on a cut that has a golden brown colour, and diluted in alcohol, it takes on the same colour as Tamiya clear yellow and can be diluted to the desired 'tint' you are looking for.
You can buy it at any chemist store and is also called 'iodine'.
It is in fact a disinfectant.

I have learned to adapt and overcome when a situation arises that can be solved in other ways that are not always "Hobby Related", like using acetone (which you will never see recommended in any instructions), as all kinds of things are used by creative and inventive modellers when confronted by a 'situation'.
Just because it is used in the medical field, it should not 'exclude' as such.
I use scalpel blades instead of "Hobby" blades because I get better results, so does that mean they are not "Hobby related". ?
I suggested using Mercurochrome because I have used it before to tint some clear parts and it has worked well and can be polished without loosing any coverage.
I have also found that when the Tamiya clear paints are diluted with alcohol, it starts to get small particals form that makes it look 'grainy' and to overcome that problem, I looked at other products that would not be affected that way, and I tried Mercurochrome, as I had just cut my finger and had used some in the water I washed the cut in and it was something I tried, and it turned out ok. !
I hope that eases your concern Mike. 🙂

Now the meeting is over and the guys and Marina leave tomorrow at 09:00... The week was over much too fast! Now i´m looking forward the next year!
You cant imagine how much fun we had and how often we laughted to our guts! 😄
I learned a lot about modeling and all the subjects we had. Especially Frank´s dirty humor is refreshing and breathtaking!
A big thanks to all who made me laugh and made this week the best i had in modeling (and the most un-sober)!!!
CHEERS SCALEMATES!😉😄
