Hey folks!! Figured this was a good a place to put this one!! It does not have wings but would be attached to something with them!! Recently I had the pleasure of making up a review for our good friend BJ for his Big John's Scale Modelling site. This is BJ's site for posting reviews he just started not too long ago! If you get the chance...swing by and check it out!! Okay then...here is the link to the review on BJ's site - bigjohnsscalemodeling.wordpress.com/2014/11/23/verlinden-11-f-16-control-stick/ or the link to the review on the MSC Review COnnect as John was kind enough to share with us... trmreviewconnect.wordpress.com/2014/11/23/verlinden-11-f-16-control-stick/Alright, all that is out of the way....here is the kit: A full resin 1:1 kit of the fighter's control stick! As you would figure this was a quick build and a quick paint!! A little primer...black of course!! Since the black primer looks to be a nice color in itself for the control...it stays!! I shot some clear varnish over it and went to town!! The other parts all painted up!! And finally everything fitted into place!! Well, that was pretty much it!! If you are a wing fanatic and like this sort of thing, this is a pretty cool trinket to play around with!! Thanks to John for supplying me with the piece for review and the subsequent build and thanks for taking the time to stop by and check it out!!

That hand looks kinda familiar! It is cool that Verlinden is making those control sticks now... it looks great!

Thanks BJ!! LOL...it think that was a new record!! What a fun project for an afternoon or a quick weekend job for someone!! Thanks Same!! Sure I am laughing but I looked at how easy it would be to add the console...then this and that and before you know it I would have a brand new "office" in the office!! Thanks Bob!! Something a little outside the norm!

Thanks M8! Neat little novelty piece. Clean up on the backside of the handle was a bit more than I anticipated but everything has a way of working out in the end!
