Gentlemen, thank you in your continued interest in my glacially slow build. I do have progress to report, though it doesn't look like much. The fit of what I finally figured out by looking at the instructions of this this Academy F-16 is quite a bear to work with and required shims and plenty of PSR., but I'm finally ready for paint. My paint scheme inspiration comes a photo of a F-5 from VFC-13 on a calendar by Sparta.
Here's how things look as of now.
Oh, and the pilot isn't who you'd think it should be. The story behind that once I'm finished.
and the photo with the scheme I'm going to try and replicate.
