Building the Revell 1/32 Scale F-16 Fighting Falcon Fighter Jet model 1996 vs. 2016

My first internet model build video first posted in July 2016.

This video was originally intended to be a model building, painting, weathering, and comparison of the same F-16 model kit I newly constructed in 2016 vs. one I built in 1996. During the new construction, I became frustrated with the seam line created with the upper and lower fuselage sections. In disgust, I threw the model down and it broke into about 7 parts. This video also now includes my attempt to repair and salvage this model. 

For a direct comparison, I did not use any aftermarket items such as detailed cockpits, landing gear bays, etc. However, I did cannibalize a Hasegawa 1/32 scale F-16A/C vertical tail to make the 2016 build more accurate as an F-16A.

Background:
About 2003 I stopped building models. I only had rudimentary modelling skills at that time and I was only using cans of spray paint and simple hand brushing.

I’ve been inspired to try my hand at model building again by many skilled YouTube channel modelers who have generously shared their techniques for painting/airbrushing, shading, weathering, etc.

I’m an amateur builder/painter and this video is more about showing “improvement” from what I’ve learned and just trying to have some fun.
