Tamiya F-16C/N “Arctic Aggressor” 1/48th OOB. Finished!

That is a beauty Jim, your decals laid down perfectly and the camo is spectacular! This kind of masterful build is what inspires others to take up the hobby. Nice work brother.

This is stunning. Masterfully well done, my friend.

The red data pod (?) on the wingtip is a nice pop of color too.

Thank you very much @Spitfire , the red pod is called out for another scheme in the kit, but I saw pics with the red one on this scheme online, if not on this very aircraft, and had to go with it. Glad you like it too!

Iv heard notthing but good things about the tamiya F16C except for the anoying seam down the middle of the canopy

Thanks Dalton, that’s appreciated very much.

I enjoyed the kit @tanknick22 , the seam is easy enough to deal with and is a product of the bubble canopy I think. I just used various micro mesh pads from 3600 grit to 12000 grit, didn’t even bother polishing.

Cheers Bryan. Yeah, this certainly won’t be my last aggressor build. Think the f18 could be on the cards.
