Last year I managed to get my hands on the Vingtor 1/72 F-16 Prototypes decal sheet and I noticed the decals were on there for the F-16/79.

I had a look at the kits that were readily available and decided to have a look at what would needed to be done to make the F-16/79.

The only parts that really need modification were the intake and the engine.

Here is what I have managed to come up with to convert the Revell 1/72 F-16B kit.

The parts shown are a direct swap for the kit parts.

These are the first 2 sets that have so far been made as I have plans to build a number of "What If?" F-16/79's as well as the one depicted on the Vingtor sheet.

The F-16 prototype still ranks as one of the best looking prototypes of all time.......what a beauty.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks
