Taking a seat, following this 👀

The "new" revell modell is a nice job to do, the old one was terror 😜

Welcome Jan and Gerrit. And yes, the old 1963 model is horrible. this "new" one from 1997 is much better.

Gerrit Rost
If you take the landing gear inside, place some small parts of spruey under the doors for better fit in the boxes, especially for the front wheel

Nicely done!
I personally don't mind the "all closed" approach, fewer joints to take care of etc.
Thick Japanese produced decals are a pain, I agree. Low-vis decals are tricky to use in general, you need to nail the contrast between the paint and the decal which is easier said than done.
I think it's best to try the primer/paint/varnish/decals combo on a paint mule first. So many factors can ruin the contrast.

Very clean job. Looks lovely.

Sure Clement, this is a tricky part, but some vendors can do this job better than others. Nevertheless, I make US Navy/Marines planes not so often. Also, there are often a hig-viz decals.

My first encounter with Kelik's 3D decals didn't look very promising at the start.
But the final result (using the PVA glue) turned out better than expected.
Take a closer look at the ejection handle - it's printed on both sides! (I put it back to front of the cockpit)
I can only highly recommend this stuff 👍 And didn't even use the whole set 😄

Nice! That ejection handle is something esle, I like that a lot.

Cuajete
A very nice decoration, Łukasz!
I also plan to do the same using Syhart decals, better than those included in Revell. And the special set for this decoration of MRP paint cans (MRP-207).
If you can find them I recommend them.

Very nice cockpit 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you and welcome everyone!
@Cuajete: I already have a BilModel paint bought a loooong time ago. If you have Syhart decal (I assume it's the same as Revell's one is printed by them) you need only the brighter orange of the two included in MRP set. The darker one is for those who want to spray the lion themselves.

also following, very nice work

Łukasz, Shyhart decals are not the same as Revell decals. Shyhart decals reproduce the color effect of this decoration better than Revell decals. I was going to use the decals from the Revell kit, but I was able to get the Shyhart one at a good price (I had already gotten the paints from MRP before). If you don't have Shyhart decals, Revell decals are not that bad. I don't know BilModel's paintings. I'm curious to see the result 👍

In any case I'm sure you'll do a great job as always, 😉

Łukasz Gliński
I have to admit I'm surprised a lot, I thought they're the same 😮 Good to know, thx
I have only a single bottle of BilModel paint and yes that's the demo orange - seems to be a lacquer luckily (tested using various thinners), so it should work well, fingers crossed.

Cuajete
Perfect, Łukasz! 👌
No, it's not the same. I was looking for the review where I saw a comparison between both decals, but I can't find it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the result of that demo 🙂

Jan Peters
Somehow I've missed this 👀
Dutch F16 means following for sure!

Cuajete
Primer looking good, Łukasz 👍
What happened to the inlet?

Nicolas
Following, looks good so far.
