SPA Modeler

is it exotic, maybe only 131 build, looks like a F-16 on some points, not a copy General Dynamics was part of the design team

the kit is very nice to build

The F-16 family resemblance is there. But the twin engines and intake configuration sure set it apart. I’m surprised that General Dynamics never went with such a design when they pitched the F-16 against the F/A-18 to the Navy. The single engine of the F-16 was considered a weak point of the design for survivability during carrier based operations in that competition.

That is a beautiful build CL!

Certainly is very similar to the F-16. I have debated whether to pick it up for my stash. Looks like I’ll have to add it to my wish list. Well done, CL!

A rare aircraft and a rare model. Beautifully executed Cherrylock!

Very nice! I too was looking at this kit. Might have to get it now.

Sure has the genes of the F-16. Nice looking bird and a good looking build!
