    For Christmas, my dear wife offered me a Revell 1/144 F-16C, and I plan to build one of my delirium drawings:
Quote from: Tophe on September 17, 2022, 05:50:01 PMI consider building this F-16 in 2023, at 1/144 scale with a Revell kit (having 2 fins, 2 sets of tailplanes, 2 jet exhausts); <_<

Now the model is seriously* taking shape...s: <_<
*: uh, not seriously, because without rear tail anymore and with a first boom forward (and 2 jets and 2 fins ready to fit), this is already what-if :unsure:  :-\

Now the 2nd boom and the 2 jets are on. Then I will glue the canards and add some putty. <_<

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
