White painting

It was time to apply some white paint.

Beforehand, I thought it would be a good idea to apply some brake lines to the MLG legs. They were made out of stretched sprue. Here they are:

I then applied white to all LG components, wheel bays,door innards, intake trunking and to the 4 Sidewinders (which are correct for the time period the camo represents). Here are a few shots:

Upon drying, some more "Final Construction" will be commenced, before applying decals.

Thanks my friend @j-healy!

Thanks my friend @airbum! I used to leave gear legs without brake lines, but, once I did it, I could not live without adding them, even if they are an ultra simplified representation of the real thing!

Very nice progress my friend, @fiveten
At first I thought the brake lines were made of fibre optic wire because they looked very thin.
So great work on getting the sprue stretched into such a fine thread.
White paint also looks very nice.

Stretched Sprue! Why haven't I thought of that for my CF-100. I think I should re-visit some of my scratch built details and add some sprue. Your F-16 is turning into a real beautiful lady. Well done my friend!

Started decalling

Upon white curing I started some decalling.

For the HAF insignia, I used the excellent Afterburner decal sheet (sadly, OOP, maybe for good...)

All other decals will come from the kit decal sheet. Even the serial No of the plane (139) came by altering the "286" kit provided decal code ("6" became "9", "8" was cut and became "3", 2" 's long leg was isolated to become "1"). I also applied the Inflight refueling visual aid and some "DON'T WALK" lines. Here are hte results with more decalling to come);
