F-16C Falcon (Tamiya 1/48)

It has been a long time since my last post , but life is sometimes just too hectic to build models. But I've managed to finish this one off in under 7 months. Tamiya F-16C block 25/32 kit, with some extras: Aires F-16C/D wheel bays (4439), F-16C  cockpit set (4364) and exhaust nozzle. Wheels are resin ones from Wheeliant, missiles, bombs and airbrakes  are from Brassin. HGW RBF tags were used to finish the armament. Model was painted with MRP paints, weathered with Ammo products. Base is from Uschi and the APU unit is from Hasegawa.

Markings are from Elite decals, representing F-16 named "Death Dealer" from 17th TFS/363rd operating in Desert Storm in 1991

F-14A (Tamiya 1/48)

I finally managed to publish something again on my blog. This time it's in my opinion one of the best kits ever produced. Tamiya F-14A (kit no. 61114). I used quite a lot of the aftermarket items (see picture below), and some scratchbuilding was done, especially in the wheelbay areas. Resin and photoetched upgrades from Eduard (Brassin), fantastic HGW wet transfers and Furball decals were used for this build. Model was painted with MRP paints and weathered with Ammo weathering products. Markings portray an airplane from VF-143, based on USS America in 1976.
