Great work!! That's a really good lookin' bird! :wub:
I'm also whif'in up an F-16 kit with twin tails(which will be my first post ever) and also came across the original fin fairing question so i'm looking forward to see how you deal with it. I think i'll go with some kitbashing and maybe a little putty work to add something more to it.

I've got a Revell 1/32 F-16XL kit. Going to build as a Spectrum Archangel - sort of a multi role development of the Angel Interceptor. Decals might be a problem but, the roundels from the Airfix Angel kit shouldn't look to bad scaled "up" to 1/32? Unless anyone knows of another source? Won't be going for a white finish though. Possibly a multi toned coloured metallic finish - using True Earth metallic filters over either a blue or green base

Might be a while!!  :lol: I've got several other projects to get out of the way first! However, while on the subject, Kinetic are to release a 1/48 F-16XL kit. There's a current thread on Britmodeller. I can see several of these winging their way to my stash! :lol:
