1/48 Hasegawa P.A.F. F16A

This is my 1/48 scale Pakistan Air Force F16A built from the old but still good Hasegawa kit. I have always been motivated to do one, especially with the kill markings as shown on numerous photographs in magazines and other publications over the years. However, when Zotz decals finally came out with the markings for that specific jet, I finally ran out of excuses.

The model was built mostly straight out of box. I did some work to the intake area, building the sides up with epoxy putty and recontouring it to achieve a pseudo seamless intake finish. The addition of a resin exhaust from Cutting Edge rounded up the limited aftermarket additions to the kit.

The photography was done on an overcast day. The experiment just happen to come out right. Hope you enjoy the photographs.
