1/48 F-16I Sufa

[F-104nut]

While metal paints dry on the Su-33 and J-5 i decided to start on the awesome 1/48 Hasegawa F-16I Sufa .Cockpit painted with Mr Paint. Time to start detailing the office. I used the LAU-128 AMRAAM rails from the Tamiya kit that way I can you the nicer looking Tamiya AIM-120 missiles .

As Wile E Coyote would say. I was brain farting at work what else can i do to spruce of the Hasegawa Sufa. I was like i bet the weapons pylons from the Tamiya kit will fit on the Hasegawa kit. To me they look really nice and was sitting in the spare parts box. So i used the drilled out the holes on the Tamiya Lower wing. Then clamped on the Hasegawa wing and drilled out the holes on the Hasegawa wing for the Tamiya Pylon locater pins. Then i filled the holes on the Hasegawa wing that was for the Hasegawa pylon locater holes . Just need to do the same for the outer underwing missile pylons.

I did not have the time to walk by your thread, ... I still surprised the speed of assembly and number of models you have simultaneously (I completed more than a year with my Lib and I wish I could start with others ...! !)

I like your advance Brian, I'll be watching for progress.

A hug FB friend ...
