Nice ones Tom, particularly like "Whisky Four"  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I can see you've recently been bitten... ;D  :thumbsup:
Never bought the Mistercrap kit and never will, it's a bad copy of the Italeri kit, which is also a poor kit to start with and i've built two of those.
The Revell is by far the best of those. I believe that it's still the best F-16 in 1/72 for the F-16A/B and also of the C/D of the P&W engine, small mouth intake variants.
Although i haven't built one yet, i'd say that for earlier GE engine, big mouth intake variants like F-16C Block 30/40 it's the Academy kit but the Tamiya kit is undoubtedly the best F-16C Block 50. It's a shame they're not making more variants...
Even worst, the only kits ever made of the F-16E/F Desert Falcons in this scale were limited editions by Hasegawa back in 2010/11 and never reissued since... :banghead:
Luckily, Hase and Kinetic still have the Israeli F-16I Sufa available... Hase has some of the details for the F on the sprues so i guess that with a few more bits sourced elsewhere, one can build the F out of the I... :unsure:  :angel:  ;D

Very nice builds! It's nice to see some colors on an F-16 besides grey.

It's odd how the French scheme makes the tail look taller.
Whatever.

Those look great!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Masking long straight lines like that gives me the heebie jeebies.
