Hi, this is my first post in this center. I'm from Hong Kong and have just two years experience.  Actually this is my second F -16 and I spent two to three days to finish it.  The reason I decided to build an F-16 again is because I wasn't satisfied with the first one I did.  However, it doesn't mean that this one is perfect.. Moreover, I don't care if there is real fighter using the same decal as I used.  Therefore you may argue that my model is different from the real one.

Modified part
The air intake design of the model kit is very bad. The main part I wasn't satisfied with. The image 05 and 06  above show you the original design and the modified design of the air intake respectively. You can see that the modified air intake is much better and looks like a real one.
 

Paint

I used Mr.Hobby H-32 and Tamiya AS-7 to paint the body of the fighter where the rest I didn't paint it. I understand that the paint I used may not be the same as the real one, but it's great, isn't it?
