Looks good man.

It loaded alright!....but uh...looks kinda pinkish...lighting?
And what did you do to get the interior texture on those exhaust petals eh?

Yeah, wierd how the sunlight reflects . Also the I did quick fix to reduce the KB and the tint changes as well

The nozzle is the old High Flight Nozzle. I had to use the kit doughnut panel (4409) since the HF one was a bit small. the wingtip, logo, & Anti colision lights are scratch built. The lower logo, landing and taxi lights are MV lenses. Also Cobra ALQ-181 pod, corrected centerline pylon, corrected landing gear/brake detail and TD seat. I also use a MV lens for the HUD and cut the HUD ICP face , and extended to correctly protrude from the glare shield

Side view

Model looks great, but your 57th Wing patch is on the wrong side of the inlet. It should be 57th Wing on the right side and and 64th Aggressor or USAF Aggressor patch on the left.

Here's with a bit of tweaking....got rid of the pink...

Great pics! I've seen lots of your other work over on the Twobobs site.

I have a minor gripe that is really kind of a suggestion (and it's not about your kit! Smile

). Sometimes (like in this case) images are so large that I end up scrolling back and forth to see them and, since the largest image determines the topic column width, scrolling back and forth to read everyone's posts. I'm wondering if Bjorn & Leiven might consider either an auto-size feature on thread pics (like is done in the photo gallery) just for the sake of readability, or maybe even an additional gallery to feature only built F-16 model kits.

Mike do you (or anyone) know the official designation of the chin-mounted jammer pods? ( like AN/XYZ-nnn ??? )

Always something to complain about Rolling Eyes

Just kidding. I agree, it's kind of all over you when you open the page. I guess since my camera was set up that way (Size) it posted full size. I'm not picture savy when it comes to these things, so I'll have to figure out how to reduce the size and work the color. I do like "Full" size pics of the real thing though. That way when I save, I have a fuller picture. Autsize, that would be cool.

That was stupid. I guess that's what I get for rushing the finish. At least I did not put the insignia upside down Confused

Yeah, did that twice on a couple of my kits. I though it was pretty good at first, but every time I look at it closer, it looks worse and worse Mad

So when did you crew at Nellis? I actually work 267 in phase back in 92. Dose Chico (Civ) still run the phase dock there? I got to Neliis in 91 and shortly after that, we started toget Brand spanking new block 42's. I was 90-0713, 0727, & 0742.

Also, back in 98 Nellis sent a Block 52 D ( I think the tail was 91-47$$) model in full flanker camo, for a MERLIN de-mod. Man, it look good and I wish I would of took some pics of it. Would you know of a source for that jet?

Thanks Mike

Mike, what's a MERLIN de-mod? (you know me, always asking questions...)

The forums are supposed to have a auto resize feature already, I've seen it work. Maybe it's just not applied to this particular forum.

I'm just guessing, but maybe it resizes image tags but not attachments?
