Of course I'm following this one 🙂

Welcome Christian \, Nathan! Lots of F-q6 builds going on at the moment, so I hope to do this one justice!

@Christian - I absolutely love your Su-30 eggplant build!
@Nathan - following your Ukrainian F-16 build with interest - already used your resin drop tanks to improve my bare bones drop tanks! 😀

Nathan Dempsey
Those ResKit drop tanks look great when attached. Your build is looking excellent.

Thanks Nathan! It's coming along too slowly for me, but should be done this weekend. 😀

gorby
Nice work with the camo.

CaptGPF Autor
Thanks Gorby! Interesting scratch building you have going on your workbench!

Dave
That F-16 looks sharp.

Nathan Dempsey
Excellent work Capt! This is giving me the inspiration to finish my F-16s.

Rui S
Great work, indeed 👍

CaptGPF Autor
Thanks Dave/ Nathan and Rui!

@Nathan - looking forward to seeing your F-16 builds!

@Rui, your dioramas and recent sdkfz always inspire me!

Rui S
Thanks for your words mate. My sdkfz it's not recent but the sand dune base for it is.
One day I'm going to do a propeller plane and I'm hopping that it will be as good looking as your birds 😉

Final upload of the finished product. Lighting not the best, we'll have to look into that later.
I chose the Arizona markings for Luke Air Force Base in part homage to Desert Marlin and Max Afterburner, Arizonans who motivated me with their aircraft builds over the years.

gorby
WOW, it looks fantastic Capt!

Gary Victory
Very nice build and finish. Nice to see the pilot's fitted.

Neuling
Clean and careful work, beautiful colors!

Thanks Gary!

Neuling, I thought long and hard about weathering this bird up a lot, but opted against rain weathering, since it doesn't rain at all in Arizona! The sun bleaching didn't turn out as striking as I would have wanted after the gloss and Matt coating - but there's always the next kit! 😜
