Hello all! This is
my second submission to ARC and my first attempt at an F-16. I know that we all
have read the pages and pages battling back and forth over Academy or Tamiya.
Me
personally I'm not a rivet counter or this panel line is wrong. I do it for my
own personal enjoyment. I'm sure there will be alot of guys that will say this
and that is incorrect on this model, but I hope you enjoy!

I've seen may F-16s done on
this site that are really great, but I was tired of seeing the normal grey
schemes. So with a little research I went with the Fulcrum scheme.
All in
all the Academy kit builds up nice. The only real fit problem that I found
was the exhaust seemed to be a little misshapen and created a small gap.
Nothing a little putty and sanding couldn't cure! Like with most 32nd
scale planes a resin cockpit is a must! I went with the Avionix viper tub
and seat. It is an excellent casting very highly recommended. I also went
with the metal landing gear since the kit only comes with the plastic.
What's a model without a full roll out ordnance load??? So I loaded her up
with everything I could. GBUs, JDAMs, sidewinders, AIM 120s Yes to all the
critics I know the Aggressor Squadrons don't carry that kind of ordnance but
it make the lines of the F-16 look so much better.
Hope you all enjoy.
Would enjoy any feed back you all have!
