Childhood re-discovered

[expat1]

After coming across some excellent tutorial videos made by ISM on You Tube. I decided to have a go at an old childhood interest.
$$$s were parted with for an airbrush, tools and oh yeah, a model !!
Tamiya's excellent F-16 Aggressor was the model of choice because I'd heard that it just falls together.
Those reports were correct !!

Superb job! That looks awesome!

[Fumbles]

Wow! Looks like you have not lost the skill... I can only hope my NAS Fallon F-16 looks as good.

Much respect!

Im several years into my childhood rediscovery and cant get near that standard!

Thank you for the kind comments.
I cant overstate how helpful the 'How to' videos on ISM (International Scale Modeller) helped me. Loads of techniques and directions that I'd never have thought of.

That's a cracking build!
I have this kit in the stash also.

Great paint job - and nice subtle weathering touches too.

You clearly have a talent for this, the tonal variations in the paint especially the grey of the fuselage and wing tank are spot on !
