IPMS Borinqueneers Eng Version

Hi fellas:

This is my entry for the show of Jose Torres in November, I'm using the old F-16 from Academy. The kit need a lot of work, is very basic, and the details on the kit are soft or none in some areas, but nothing that can be workout with patience. I buy 5-6 of this kit for our club for a couple of dollars, and I got one for myself.

Started with the cabin, mine doesn't have decals or details in the interior so I went for all black.

Next was to join the halves and the wings, leaving severals gaps all around the kit. This time I use the Gunze Sanyo putty. Just use some tape to guide the application, then I remove it and inmediatly wipe the excess with a wet towel and Voila, perfect lines with no mess!

The kit with air intake installed and painted in white, need some filing in the nose, but overall is ready for masking and painting. You can see here the gaps filled under the wings.

Starting the pre-painting, making some preshadows on the kit.

Using Silly putty and tape I started the camo colors.

After a few hours, I did the next color.

Here the initial result.
