This is my Hasegawa F-16 DJ, I
finished it in about 20 hours mostly correcting the seamlines which I found
annoying since I thought Hasegawa's products is good.

I paid attention in cockpit painting
cause the cockpit is so nice I couldn't resist to leave it that way. I used oil
paint for the switches and grey wash for the gray area, instead of painting the
black area last.
The problem I encountered in
assembling the fuselage is the air intake since the new sprue for converting the
F-16 B to D which have larger air intake didn't match nicely with the old
parts.
For weathering I used pencil and
pastel chalk, the reason I used pencil is because the panel line is too shallow
for my usual wash of thinned poster color, for the exhaust nozzle I used
variations of Testor Metalizer.

The kit is built OOTB, hope you
enjoy these pictures, sorry for the poor quality on the pictures.
