[Full build] F-16A "Fighting Falcon - HobbyBoss 1/72

"BlitzBuild" from the box

[@joshuaoliver5878]

When I build my cockpit I leave everything separate and paint everything separately. That’s just my way of building. Nice kit. About time model makers make a “A” version F-16 Falcon. The “A” Block 10 is my favorite version.

I'm not regular in my building process and I sometimes add details once the cockpit is assembled, so I have to paint the whole thing in one piece. It's easier to paint each part before assembly, that's true. Thanks for your interest Joshua 😊

Great job!!!

[@ghkmodels]

Many thanks for your comment and interest. Kit is poor, decals are not so good, bit it makes a cool and original Belgian F-16 on the other hand... 😅

Never responded for 7 months, my apologizes 🤗 Thanks for your interest and keep up the good work ! 😉

Lovely build! I know the hobby boss F-16 isn't the greatest out there, but you've done a spiffing good job there! Tres bien! (pardon my crappy french!)

[@ghkmodels]

The kit is crappier than your french my friend 😉 I'll try to build a better kit for the next aircraft but right now, I have an SSBN Typhoon on the bench... Thanks for your comment and interest !

Thanks for your interest Jose, cheers from France to Chilie 😉

[@lieuvu9104]

i think you should put the name of paint jars when you paint the aircraft , somebody will love it so much

[@ghkmodels]

That a good point, subtitles with the paint's references are effective on the last full builds videos, since the Kilo class video 😉 Many thanks for your interest

Hello! Great video! I have a question for you: I bought for my shelf a model F16A-15 HALCON CAZADOR VENEZUELA 20TH EDITION from Mistercraft and I don't know how to build it cause I don't understant the instructions manual. If you build this model can you put a tutorial on KZbin? Hy from ROMANIA! The kit contains two cockpit sitts and the instructions do not give many details. Can you give me more details about the model please?

[@ghkmodels]

Not sure I can help you The HobbyBoss kit is very different for sure... 🤗 I used to bought a Mig 29 Fulcrum from MisterCraft, and after building it, I've decided to never buy a kit from this trend 😂

Where's weapons?

[@ghkmodels]

Nothing in the kit, this is a f "from the box" build, with a bit of scratch in the cockpit, just the minimum. Thnaks for your interest ! 🙂

[@egyeneskifli7808]

At least I know this is a bad kit. The cockpit is full trash. Decaled instruments panel and consoles, laughable bad ejection seat, only resembles an ACES II from far away behind a concrete wall. Even the prehistoric Italeri F-16 has better cockpit and seat. And it is fits better then this too. BTW you have an interesting way to build an aircraft.

[@ghkmodels]

Totally agree with you. Bad fitting, lack of details and horrible decals. Some of them don't fit and printing is a lame as you can see at the end. BTW, thanks for your comment and interest !

[@egyeneskifli7808]

I really don't understand how manufacturers dare to release "new" kits with this kind of lacking cockpits. Any of the '80s-'90s Italeri kits (or even the '70s Monograms, the ex-Monogram now Revell 1/72 Phantoms still have the best cockpit among all the Phantom kits! The overhyped Academy can't hold a candle to them)superior to them in this aspect. If the looked down Italeri engineers can do a proper cockpit in their sleep, why the "big names" can't? The other think makes me puke when for example Eduard release a kit, and in the same time a buttload of accesories to deal with the kits issues. It looks like they deliberately make the base kits faulty. Well, I have almost no trust in the big modeling channels. All of them tipically work with prerelease or media release kits, only in very rare occasions they buy anything. Paid content, OFC they silent about the problems of most of the kits. Because they fear the manufacturers and their revenue. Most of those channels are pure marketing. They don't really talk about the build and the process. There is at least one exception: Matt from Doogs' Models. He never hide his opinion. We need more channels like his. Carry on with this hobby! Never let a bad experience ruin your joy! If you think a kit is not worth your time, then trash it, or just set aside. At least it will be a good mule for experimenting with techniques, paints, etc. There are a lot of inexpensive but good kits. (Italeri A-7E is not one of that. That's a bad ex-Esci kit.) But I really don't know if there is at least a single good F-16 kit in 1/72.

[@ghkmodels]

Yep this is obviously a big buisness. I'm not sponsorised by anyone, just trying to present my builds. For sure I have some habits with some products and trademarks, but this is definitly not marketing. I'll try to focus on kits issues on next videos, but it would be easier for me to make it in french, my english is too bad and it would need more time for me to translate. Thanks again for your interest, see you around 😉

[@MHMajid-yi8iu]

Actually I don't mind its crappy or not, but the price is so high for my budget even it's made in china. That's why I stopped buying kits any more.
