1/72 Academy F-16C

Gallery Article by Ignacio Larrañaga on June 19 2014

 

Hi everyone from Uruguay, this is my latest model finished. 

The Academy F-16C is very accurate and detailed, and one of the most complex jet kits I've built, especially the landing gear.

I tried for the first time to make some faded effects on the paint by pre-shading it on the panel lines with black, and highlighting some panels with white, all this before painting with the gunship gray.

After that I washed it with oil paint on the panel lines. I was very pleased with the result.

The decals are very good though a bit thick, but far better than the old Academy ones.
Thanks for looking I hope you enjoyed it!
