This F-16A is my latest work.  The kit was very good. But some details (landing gear bay, landing gear, nozzle) was poor.

I built this kit straight out of the box, except for the  nozzle, landing gear and landing gear bay. The nozzle was replaced by resin parts from Aires. Its detailing satisfied me. I added some wires to the landing gear and landing gear bay with enamel wire and etc.

I mainly concentrated on painting. For basic painting, I used CSI Creos lacquer mixed with white color. Then, I place dots on the surface of the model to each of the basic colors with oil paints. And the dots were blended with a brush.

The color tone of the paint job was weathered by several colours.  Enamel flat black, buff, grey were used to add weathering.  Oil stain was applied with oil paint (Raw umber) and powder from pastels.
I am very happy to submit my model to ARC and thanks to all of you for reading my article.
