Tamiya 1/72 F-16CJ block50 Fighting falcon

May 24, 2025 · in Aviation · · 12 · 150

The kit was finished as is, except that the nose pitot tube and AOA probe were replaced with metal material.
It is a well-made kit and turned out great without major modifications.
The overall color is painted to be light.

  1. Excellent result, Dagored @dagored
    Painting and weathering is done beautifully.

  2. Congratulations Dagored! Excellent result!

  3. Great looking Weasel, Dagored!
    Hard to believe the little F-16 can hold so much stuff.
    To add to the build, I'd recommend reading Dan Hamptons book, 'Viper Pilot'

    • The great thing about this kit is that it can be reproduced with a full load of underwing equipment.
      Thanks for introducing me to this interesting book.

  4. That is amazing detail for 1/72 scale ,@dagored. I'm lucky if I can make it look that good at 1/48. Great job.

  5. Excellent modelling Dagored. Very very nice subtle finish 😊

  6. Beautiful paint and weathering on this! Love it.
