1/48 Italeri F-16blk 52+

by Peter Athanasopoulos

--------------------

 

The model comes from a conversion of an F-16blk 15 to an F-16blk52+.  A lot of external and internal conversions took place during the entire build.  I added one more screen as well as more switches in the instrument panel, which was painted with matte black and No 126 from the Humbrol range.

The IIF system antennae were made of sheet styrene on the plane’s nose, while the ASPIS system antenna was made of plastic rod on the right side of the fuselage.  The GHOST camouflage scheme (FS 36307 – FS 36251 – FS 36237) was perfectly achieved using Xtracolor paints. 

  

 

The undercarriage consists of two fuel tanks and the LANTIRN pods, whereas the weapons load consists of two laser EBU-24 bombs  two air-to-air IRIS-T missiles and  some photographs with  AIM-120 AMRAAM.
