I decided not to use the already assembled intake. The paint in the gear bays was super think and there was no way to fix that. So I'll use the kit parts. I did manage to salvage the intake cover.

One good thing about scraping the old intake and gear bays is that I have a ton of PE to use on the kit parts.

How did I miss this???
I like those adhesive PE you have there, so far this is going really nice and judging from your other builds, this is going to be a beauty!

I kept wanting to comment more on this yesterday but my stupid computer kept locking up at work. Maybe that's a sign....
I've liked the F-16 ever since I was a kid. Really sleek looking aircraft and you can definitely count me in as a follower on this build Mike.

Cool progress, Mike. Will you use black primer on this?

Thanks Bruce! You know, I'm not sure. I probably will on most of it except at the front where the Texas flag is. Don't want a dark undercoat where there's going to be bright colors.
