Take a brake. . . - nice add-on.

Thanks my friends @airbum and @gkittinger!

Thanks, my friend @pikofix!
Yep, the Academy kit is a "legalized copy" clone of the venerable Hasegawa kit, which is not bad, but has its weak spots, one of them being the intake, which is far from "seamless". I believe the Tamiya kit is very nice (double price - seemingly double quality!). I have to make one someday 🙂

Hi @yann!

Those stubborn gaps are firstly coarse sanded (320 or even 220 grit - just be brave and attack the beast! 🙂 ). When the surfaces are even, ie no bumps, I apply liquefied styrene at the big gaps. Upon curing, I resand again with 220 or 320 grit, then I apply putty and sand with 400, proceeding to 1000 or 1500 grit. I admit that some detail might at cases be lost, but one can rescribe, if he so wishes (I usually don't 🙂 ).

Thanks for liking my project, my friend!

P.S. Your Belgian AF F-16 solo displays aerobatics are AMAZING! I had the chance to watch, quite a few times, up, close and personal, your F-16s performing amazing maneuvers during air shows that took place in my Base (114CW, Tanagra AFB). Your pilots pushed their F-16s to the limits! Those were some great pilots! What an event!

Greetings from Greece!

Wow, this is an amazing scheme, my friend @yann, one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!
Thanks for sharing this!

Yep, that beloved Dutch scheme is well known to me, as it was a frequent visitor during airshows, my friend @johnb!
The Dutch team had a minivan painted likewise, too!
All the team were really nice people!

This is going to be built for a good colleague of mine, my friend @gblair; kind of a commission build, but in a children's manner, as we (sadly, according to my wife...), have remained "children", though we are over 50: we exchange goodies (he'll get the Falcon, I'll get a used bicycle - a fair trade, or what? 🙂 ).

To make a long story short, he wanted the standard ghost scheme, when " new", very early 90s, meaning no "rubberish" paint. He wants no ordnance, just tanks and pylons (I am also a non-ordnance guy...). Yep, even the plain ghost scheme is nice!
