I've been working on this one the last couple days. Here's the kit...
Thus far, the kit is good. I experienced no fix issues. I foresee this will be an easy build.
Building this one using aftermarket decals I bought a few years ago: 20 Years of F-16 in Portugese Service.

You’ll like that kit Tom. I did the Thunderbirds boxing of it quite a few years ago and remember it being a trouble free quick build.

Looking good so far. Those missile bodies should be Light Ghost Gray, not White. White AAMs went away with Jimmy Carter…

And it looks like your right cockpit sidewall decal needs a shot of Micro Sol!
