Revell F-16C Arctic Splinter Aggressor 1/144 WIP

 

 

Filling gaps 

Gaps filled with milliput  

Since I don't like the decal option the kit comes with, I decided to try another route. The plan is to recreate an F-16 from the aggressors based in Alaska...  

Splinter camo on, now the real challenge starts: Recreating the squadron markings. I printed the largest ones on masking paper and I'll try to cut these tiny letters, numbers and map of Alaska out and use that as a spraying mask... 

I made masks to airbrush the Alaskan squadron markings. This was extremely fiddly so I'll probably just use a panel liner for the rest of the markings. 

With the paint job done, it's time to add the stencils. Obviously I won't be using the Texan Gunfighter decals on this Alaskan aggressor. Hobby knife for scale - these 144th scale kits look much larger on photos than they are!
