This was my entry to
our local club build...
It's a build of
the old Monogram kit of the F-16XL from back in the 80's. I converted it
into a two-seater using the extra canopy provided in the Testors F-16C/D
kit. I scratch built the cockpit and added a "Sufa"
spine from sheet styrene. I also lifted the open speed brakes from the old
Revell kit of the prototype.

The decals are from the
spares box, except for the lion on the tail which I printed on clear "Expert's
Choice" decal paper. Using the same laser copier,
I also printed the flare and chaff dispensers on top rear of the aircraft.
I chose to arm the
aircraft for a "special" low level strike mission. It's
armed with 4 AIM-120's (air to air defense), 2 AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles (defence
against SAM's), and a AGM-130/W54 with a 1 kiloton warhead (enrichment
control).
