Part 1 builds the GE F110 turbofan engine that powers the F16 Viper. This Tamiya kit is amazing and I hope this video will inspire you to build a model kit.

I was stationed at MacDill AFB when we switched from F-4s to F-16s (53rd TFW)
Pilots LOVED the F-16, but I missed the roar and smoke of F-4 take-offs...

Dang - I wish assembling the real engines was that easy. Great job!!

[@scalemodelpursuit]

Haha, no kidding right? Those engines are some seriously complex pieces of machinery

[@roberthearn2908]

@@scalemodelpursuit yep - I worked on them (actually, the F100 series for the F-15 and F-16) for ten years.

@@roberthearn2908 wow that had to have been a really cool experience

[@Sciguy95]

What are you talking about? This was obviously way harder than assembling the real engines

[@roberthearn2908]

@@Sciguy95 lmao - oh, definitely harder!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

What paint did you use for the outside nozzle first? Alclad semi-matte aluminum ? I just got this kit and your nozzle color is perfect. Great job BTW

[@scalemodelpursuit]

Thanks for watching! The color @13:37 is Alclad ALC104 Pale Burnt Metal. I love that paint. Enjoy building this kit, it is a great one.

[@tcproductions3967]

@@scalemodelpursuit oh ya really enjoyed the videos. I couldn’t tell what you used there but I really like the color on the GE 110. Thanks. Hope you make an F-14 sometime 😁

[@julianmizzi1295]

what oil colors did you use to create the ceramic imitation ? looks sensational .

[@scalemodelpursuit]

Hi Julian, thanks! @9:30 I used Cadmium Yellow and Burnt umber dots on the inside of the nozzle. Later in the video I used Titanium White tone down the outside of the nozzle.
