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… :giggles:

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