Superb, as always. You are a Don at how to build a kit out of the box (with a little help from the Czech resin gods) that anyone can seize inspiration from.
Greek camo and conformal tanks make this very different to the other "grey ones ." excellent job Dusan , Camo changes so much in the light- I tried to do a 1/72 but the camo wasn't happy , never mind my little grandson liked it ! Wales UK.
Ein wunderschöner Sonntag geht mit einem perfekten Modell zu Ende. Wenn ich an die Modelle von vor 20 Jahren denke, ist das mal überhaupt kein Vergleich. Vielen Dank für die schönen Videos und die Ideen von Dir 💪 Mach weiter so 👍👊🤘
My Fav plane! very nice! I miss building these things.. How I did the cockpit instruments before was the base color grey and just slightly brush them with black just touching the tip of the brush. That was way back method. Thank you for the upload!
Great video and building as always on a really difficult subject! It's pretty hard even for us, the greek modelers, to build an accurate one because there are tons of modifications (adding or removing) required in order to be close as possible with the real aircraft :) Can't wait for your next video, keep it up!!!
Terrific looking F-16. I'm surprised the aftermarket exhaust was off by that much. You should list the songs you chose, there are a lot of really great ones. Thanks for the great build.
Great build ! be carefull liquid poly does not run under masking tape and damage outside surfaces next to joint - I know , I've done it ! nice job on the conformal tanks , well worth chamfering the edges . Love this Greek camo - very attractive and unusual . Wales UK .
Mr. Lekic it looks amazing. But if i were you i don't use X-19 for have glass efect. If you look closer photos you can see metallic particles. Because of this you can add a bit silver (very very little) to semi gloss varnish.
Another great build Dusan! You put a lot of effort into this one. I somehow preffer F-16 without extra tanks (have block 50 in stash), but your look awesome. Also I see improvement in video making. Keep up good work
Thank You! Well I have few "normal" finished F16 on my shelf without cft's, this one was interesting for more heavy look... I also like the clean line of the F16 without any tanks. All the best! Dusan.
Once again you have done some very nice work Dusan!! Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share it with us! Will you be coming to Scale Model World 2018 in Telford?
What a great build! But I think you might have used the wrong intake. The Block 52+ uses PW engines together with the smaller NSI intake. Nonetheless, amazing skills you have!
Than You!!!! I have used the correct intake, ("Well, I got the thunderbird kit just for 52 intake. In the text during the video editing there was a mistake, inverted text. I had explain it few times before in the comments. Simple: PW powered, small - GE big intake;) thank you!!! All the best!! Dusan" )
Nice build Dusan. You are the top. Tell us what about Souda Air Base special treatment you got. Greek and Israeli air force camouflage are the best (my opinion) for f16.
Hallo Dusan. Von mir gibt es erstmal Daumenhoch fürs Video. Dann beginne ich erst mit dem Anschauen des Videos.:-)) Mich hat schon seit langem Dein Arbeitsplatz interessiert. Kannst Du vielleicht darüber Video machen;-)) Grüße Paul
As always a super great amazing model of you Dusan, you have so much knowledge of colours, paints and weathering effects, stunning. I want meet the 22 people who set a ,,dislike,, here, i want tell you, youre stupid.
Yes!! It's small mounth. Please look my other comments, we talked about that error in the text already. Why would I use the 52b thunderbird kit for this video... All the best! Dusan.
Merci beaucoup mon ami J adore ce modèle je suis abonné de FRANCE 👍🇫🇷 Magnificent model my friend I like looking the Technik of painting I realized Dioramas on the resisters in the 2nd world War on my channel 👍🇫🇷
Hello Dushan. Are you satisfied with MrHobby airbrushes? I recently got PS-770 beast, it looks and feels amazing, didnt try it yet because I wait for compressor and also I would like to order PS-289 because it has 0.3, I need it for bigger surfaces and general coverage. Do you recommend it?
How many paints do you need for that model? Im a beginner and no experience building models i still dont have the tools to build one.. Im very interested in makings one of this
Brilliant video! Noticed you where brush painting bits in the cockpit with tamiya acrylic paints, are they okay to brush paint as I’ve heard they dry quick and peel as you apply brush strokes?
I have the Angled Tweezers @1:05 and it is not good, small pieces launch into the air often, it has some weight to provide balance but weight distribution is a bit off. The other one I have as Excel Slant Point Tweezers and it works great.
Hi Dušan, Can you please tell je from which model did you used the cft tanks? I would like to built F-16V block 70 for future Slovak Air Force, but can not find such model (F-16E/F) to buy :) Thnks Marek
Great build Dusan!! I'm interested in how you fitted the intake after you painted the kit? Did you cut off any of the locating tabs to make it easier to fit in to the main fusealarge? Once again a great build as always. Kind regards Dave.
Yes, but only one pin. You can get away even without cutting out. Little tweaking and dryfitting before painting. Try it first. Thanks!! All the best! Dusan.
@@ScaleModelAircraft Cheers Dusan!! I have several of the Tamiya F-16's in my stash I will try your method out!! Many thanks once again. Kind regards Dave.
When you spray the intake white, do you have any tips to avoid a course gritty finish? I love using Tamiya acrylics via the airbrush, but I find the whites in particular need a bit more care. The overspray seems to form lumps and bumps that need to be sanded. Did you get anything like that or did you do anything to prevent it? Thanks!

As a former HAF officer the only thing I have to tell you is that you did an amazing job! Looking forward to more HAF aircrafts!
Did you fly at least one of these before?

Another masterclass in modelling, beautiful.
Superb, as always. You are a Don at how to build a kit out of the box (with a little help from the Czech resin gods) that anyone can seize inspiration from.
Greetings from Greece, excellent job Dusan 😉👍... Probably the most beautiful camo scheme for F16

I absolutely love the finish to this. Thanks for the work and upload.
How does he know exactly what colors to use? I’m amazed cuz I would just use my favorite ones as my mains.

Why do 59 persons dislike this piece of art??? Amazing job! Inspiring
Maybe they are albanians or Turkish. These guys hate the Greeks
Excellent!!!!!!! Another great build Dusan. This video was a joy to watch and informative also. Picked up some good tips. Keep the videos coming👍😃
Thank You!! 👍🖐 all the best!! Dusan
What?!? You telling me that those cotton swabs were not Tamiya's line??? I am shocked!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great build!!!!
Hi. Yet again the model is absolutely brilliant. Fantastic paint job with great tips. Thank you for the impersonation to make me better.

Warum dieses Video ein Daumen runter erhält ist mir schleierhaft.
Aber gut gemacht.
because people are just mad that they are bad en he is F*CKING GOOD!
Da muss ich dir dann wohl Recht geben.
I have to agree with you then.
Very nice always enjoy your builds
Beautiful Bird - Well Done!
Feliz año 2020 desde Chile gran trabajo 🤘🤘🇨🇱
Really love you vids! Pls keep them coming!
Awesome job! I just wish you'll build all the other kits as well and not leave them in the spare parts zone :D

Thank You!! I agree with you, Haf and IDF colours are my favourite. I will post some pictures on my blog spot. All the best!! Dusan.
wow that was awesome keep them coming
Wonderful build super svaka čast !!!
I didn’t know Tamiya made an F-16C with Conformal Fuel Tanks. Which kit is that?
wow, you did a very nice job 👍
Raising the bar again 👍
Build model kit (with style), nice!!! 👌👌
What's with the weird humps on the upside left and right...?? That doesn't look F-16...
Great work there!
Love your work dusan. I think you should make some tutorial videos heheheh
Thanks! I might do, "how to clean work bench with Windex part 1." 🤔😁 take care. All the best! D.

Odličan posao Dušane! Samo bih ubacio još koju sliku na danjem svjetlu! Koja su ti se kliješta najbolja pokazala za odvajanje dijelova sa sprua?

P&W-powered F-16s are "small mouths" and the Haf Block 52 Plane have it,so th3 MCID intake is incorrect for this model.
Yes!! It's small mounth. Please look my other comments, we talked about that error in the text already. Why would I use the 52b thunderbird kit for this video... All the best! Dusan.
Okay,I see it!Sorry!Happy modelling Bro'.@@ScaleModelAircraft
Great vid and perfect music!!!
Ah! The Block 52+. An F-16C with CFTs and a F100-PW-229 engine.
