My little brother was a maintenance tech (Crew Chief) on the F-16 in the USAF at Luke AFB, AZ in the mid 90s, while I was a B-52 and B-2 Crew Chief. I've never had too much desire to build the F-16, but that's beginning to change. Yours turned out real well. Peace and love.

For an entry level brush I'd look at sparmax. More expensive than these and others that have appeared recently, but unlike them, the internals last and the spares are easy to get. They do a full range and i still use them alongside other more expensive brushes today. Great work on the F-16. Love it.

Man, I must say these builds just keep on getting better and better! They never fail to leave me awestricken as I am quite the amateur with modelling, results like this impress me so much! I hope to be able to achieve this with my new airbrush, but being brutally honest I am petrified to even touch it ( especially with the crappy revell paints I own! It’s gonna take a while to learn so in the meantime, keep up the amazing work!!! 😁

I like how you haven't gone overboard with the post-shading and weathering on this one. It can make the model look slightly cartoonish when overdone.

Hey listen, I'm just an armchair critic and would take me an age to get up to your level anyway, and it's really just a comment about modelling in general. There's a bunch of other (possibly even more?) talented, and experienced model kit makers out there, but I think they sometimes overdo the shading and weathering a tad. Maybe you're the guy to break that mould??! (See what i did there etc) *watches your Corsair video..*@@machmodels
