Good morning Sir, that was a fantastic build of a very iconic aircraft, it is one I would like have in my stash at sometime along with their new F4 ($145aus) I particularly liked the grey s heme, your weathering was absolutely fantastic, take care and keep safe mate, best regards from Australia

it's going to be complicated. At the very least, you'll need a pair of pliers to cut the parts off the bunches, some sandpaper, some special plastic model glue and a scalpel. I've never tried to build a model without tools... I recommend you invest in a tool kit that you can find for cheap on Amazon, for example.
Thanks for your comment. To be honest, I started to work with acrylics when I started the scale modelling… it is easier to manipulate, to thin…etc… In fact I think that each modeler have is own préférée material (paint, tools,…) So when you feel confortable with one do not change.
Trying to search for the etched metal kit that you used on the Fuselage of the model. Could you send me the kit number so I could purchase for my build of the same model. Any thing would help. V/r Bob
I guess im Lucky. I did a hail merry and ordered that kit just before I wrote you the other day. When I ordered it, it didn't list what was in it. Thank you again. I'm so looking forward to the build. V/r Bob
While I highly applaud your skills & abilities, heavily dirtying & weathering this jet was inaccurate. F-16s in general aren't dirty (though they will have some streaking on the ventrals, bathtub & donut), & get wiped regularly & between flights. Have Glass tends to have a darker hue but anything white will be bright white. This kit depicts a pimp jet, which represents the entire wing & if it ever really looked like that, crew chiefs would be fired & would come in on the weekend to correct it, for however long it took on the wash rack. Also, pitot, AOA, air data, & total temp probes would be highly polished, as would the turkey feathers. Back before Have Glass, jets looked fairly new years after delivery. I hate to critique so much, especially since my skills don't meet yours, but I think modern USAF jets are overdone, particularly the 16. Foreign sales aircraft are a different story. This one might be underdone for one of those.
First of all, Thank you for your comment. It seems that you are a specialist so I will not discuss about all what you said. I will take into account all your interesting comments and try to be more realistic the next time.
One of the best exhausts I've seen! love it!
Many thanks !

This is the best Viper model I've seen in a long time. So detailed and accurate. You've earned yourself another subscriber, Sir! Cheers!!!
Many thanks for your comment and welcome on the channel ! I hope you will enjoy the future video…

Thanks a lot !
Love an F-16 build, but definitely not a fan of the pre painted 3D decals. Takes too much of the fun out.
After using several time, I am agree with you. I came back on the « old » method for the new model.
Wow😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
Fantastic build and a stunning end result.
Just one question, what is the music, it was perfect for the video..
Thank you so much for your comment. The music comes from epidemicsound.com. It is a web site to find free music for videos.
What grit type does the sanding stick have to sand off the canopy seam?
I started With 800 and after 1000, 2000 and finally 5000
@@DarkSideModeler thank you
Bought one for my upcoming birthday. How long does this take if I just don't have to tools. Can I still assemble it

May I ask Why have you decided to use acrylics? What is the secret 😂 Im not able to do it right … excellent building btw!!!!

Do you have a link to the exhaust and wheel bay aftermarket parts?
Yoou can find it on Eduard website.

What is that you used to put the canopy on?
I used CA glue but you can also use white glue (it is longer and need a canopy suporting while drying.
@@DarkSideModeler thanks
Also what is that cloth used to put on the canopy?
@@coletoliver3977 it isn’t a cloth to clean glasses
@@DarkSideModeler What is the yellow thing then?
great job but a little too dirty lol
Thanks very much for your comments ! I like the dirty plane but yes, a bit too dirty...😅
