Re: 1/72 Tamiya F-16
Way to go Fermis, on the F-16 and the deer! I envy you the opportunity to hunt, although I'd have to have someone else clean my kill since I have no clue what to do. Man, I'd love to have some venison anything.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Hey, I had no clue what to do either. All I knew when I got my first deer (back in 97) was that the guts had to come out. That was the only one that ever went to a butcher...highly disappointed I was! A bit of trial-n-error, and I figured it out. 57 deer later, it's pretty much second nature!

It always impresses me what you are able to squeeze out of braille scale. And you are still improving. The grey in grey camo is everything but boring.
Keep on the good work, Fermis!

Did you tint the canopy? What's the story behind the load-out and markings??? 
Re: 1/72 Tamiya F-16 (Finished)
I did tint the canopy (Tamiya "smoke"), based off the pic I have of the real deal.Manny1943 wrote:Did you tint the canopy? What's the story behind the load-out and markings???
Loadout...well, it looks badass!!!
Markings...as it says on the decal instructions...the star and shark mouth were done with white chalk...so they were only there for a very brief period. I think it's just enough difference to set it apart from the standard scheme, and still be a combat/operational bird (I'n not all that into "special markings").
