Tamiya F-16C/N “Arctic Aggressor” 1/48th

I have been wanting to build this aircraft in this scheme for quite some time, and have finally taken the plunge and bought the kit when it was a very reasonable £37.45. Will be totally out of box, probably with pilot in place as there are no proper seatbelts. Grey, white and black “arctic” scheme, option A in the instructions. Kit looks nice so will be starting imminently…

Hard to beat a Tamiya F-16, and in aggressor markings too. Will be following.

Welcome on board fella’s, great to have your support.

Proof of progress pic. Everything lining up so far. The front and rear upper fuselage joint had me worried but just a couple of tiny gaps to fill which would probably not even be visible once painted anyway.

Lost the throttle handle when cleaning the parts for painting, eaten by the sink I think! Pilot going in so shouldn’t be too obvious…

And removed the rear fin details on the AIM as pics show this on actual examples of this aircraft.

Paint, finish and install cockpit and paint landing gear bays then can button up the fuselage.
