Wonderfull paint job Scott.  ::eusa_clap:: ::eusa_clap:: ::eusa_clap:: ::icon_thumright::
The weapons configuration that you chose is great. GBU-24, 600 gallons tanks and no CFTs looks very nice on the ''missionised'' F-16.  ::icon_thumright:: ::icon_thumright:: ::icon_thumright::
What's next now? ::salut::

Why did you chose this weapons loadout?

And why did you chose to build a Hellenic F-16?


Thank you all very much for the kind comments.

The Intake formation lights were rushed at the last minute but are easily fixed, thanks for pointing it out.

I chose the weapons loadout just from reading references regarding the Blk 52 and from information supplied by some of the members on here. I was initially going to put on JDAM's but was corrected in the fact that the 52+ a/c aren't capable of carrying them. As this build was converted from a standard Hasegawa F-16D kit and not from the Hellenic boxing. I decided to go with the 600 Gal tanks and no CFT's to be slightly different from the norm.

The reason I chose a Hellenic F-16....... well you just have to look at them and your question is answered, the best looking Vipers on the go.  I'm also currently going through a Hellenic craze with a A-7E and RF-4E recently completed,  with a T-2 Buckeye next then a F-4E, F-5 and Mirage 2000 after that. Something about the Hellenic a/c that make them stand out from the normal boring Grey of present military a/c.

Hello Scott,

Beautiful and realistic model you made! Congratulations.

I was surprised to see that even this kit http://www.kalfakis.gr/aSCALEMODELS/1START_page_SCALE.htm, has wrong cockpit features.
For example the front panel is from the A variant and there is no HUD repeater for the rear pilot!

At your first post you wrote that you used the Aires cockpit. Was it this one http://www.hobbykit-import.com/product_info.php/cPath/63_67/products_id/4450/language/en?

Did it give you any trouble fitting it to the Hasegawa kit?

Cheers,
B737Mech

Thanks for all the kind words ::salut::

B737Mech, yes that is the Aires Cockpit set I used 4291, absolutely no problems in the fitment a straight drop in, although I also used the CMK Blk 52+ conversion which required a bit of surgery to the front area.
