Thank you! Well worth the wait, what a beauty!! Love that camo, the loadout and the IFR probe, fits it like a glove! :bow:
Just one question, did you switch the LANTIRN pods' position on purpose? :unsure: Looks a bit weird like that but it's just cause i'm not used to seeing them like that, normally the AN/AAQ-28 goes on the right side, station 5R and the AN/AAQ-13 on 5L...  But it looks good, that's what matters here, great work! :thumbsup:
BTW, what kit is that? And where did you get that IFR probe?

:cheers:

I didn't realize they were the wrong way around. I suppose that's what instructions are for...D'oh!  I did try them the other way, but they didn't look right. They were hanging down, and I thought they were meant to stick out sideways.

The kit is the Skunkmodels 1/48 kit.  Lovely kit!

The IFR is straight off a Tornado. I used the same type on my "standard" RAF F-16.  It fits straight on!

Well, i can easily understand your mistake cause when i built my first F-16, i had the same doubt. But as i suffer from Acute Falconnitis Syndrome :wacko:, i looked it up and found that i was wrong. But that's just a minor detail on a lovely build, no problem for me. It is a whif so you can say they were changed for aerodynamic testing purposes. ;) :thumbsup:
I was wondering about the kit cause i couldn't really identify the scale but i suspected that it was the SW kit because of the canopy and a few other details. I've got to start thinking of building mine cause that's one of my favorite versions of the Viper. :wub:

DFZ . . . . . What is the cure for "Acute Falconnitus Syndrome"  ?????   :mellow:

Very nice.
F-16 whiffs always look good.
double-delta wings ditto.
F-16 XL must be the most pleasing beast to base any whiff on, and you have done it proud.  :thumbsup:
Cheers.

Don't know if there is such a cure and really don't care, it's a condition i'd much rather live with, than without... :wacko:  :thumbsup:
But hey, my condition isn't at the highest level it can reach, i admit... There this thread on ARC, just too bad the pics aren't showing cause they were on Photobucket, this guy's condition is far more serious than mine... ;D:
