F-16 C - My First Halinski
I want to begin this thread saying that, even though this particular model has many building reports on other forums, I didn't find it on this forum. So I thought that maybe it would be useful for some members.
So, I took my hobby knife, glue and a deep breath, and I began to cut the first pieces. |

As most of you know, the F-16's are called Vipers by their pilots. General Dynamics, the designer's home, call it "Fighting Falcon".
In this case, Halinski publishes the F-16 C 86-0262. This particular Viper was flown by Craig "Trigger" Stevenson, who in January 17, 2003, scored a killl on a MiG-23 that was challenging the no fly zone over Iraq. It was the 2nd kill using an AMRAAM misile. Here's the real bird. Last edited by milenio3; 06-11-2008 at 09:11 AM. |

These are the sheets with the pieces. As usual, very good printing.
The structure pieces are laminated on cardstock of 2, 1.5 & 0.5 mm width. There are some pieces with code "*b", and instructions ask to laminate them on light width cardstock. But this is to be checked. |

Let's start with the internal structures.
These are the pieces for the fuselage internal structure. This is the air intake internal structure. Same part on its underside. |

Here's the complete fuselage structure, including the air intake. Each "rib" is used as union of the fuselge "skin".
Another view. The front part on the picture is the cockpit section. |

I am always glad to see one of your build threads appear, Gerardo.
As always, excellent work so far. It's a really pretty internal structure. Don |

This should be interesting. I've got an earlier version of the Halinski F16, so it'll be nice to not only see your build - but compare the 2 kits

Yes, I'm excited about this model. Let's see what happens.
Johnny, thanks for the note. I didn't realize it. Don, thank you for following with me. Dan, I've seen that other F-16, and yes, it would be interesting to compare them. |
