Never saw the F-16/J79, though; if I run across one, I'd definitely want it.

IIRC, the kit has stock F-16's intake, not the one supposedly modified for the reduced air inflow requirement of J79.

Interesting that the /79 has ROC markings.

Well they were one of the countries envisaged to get such a variant, and it is a Taiwanese company producing the kit...so in-box whiff!

Any of our members over there want to invite him here?

I was going to post something about Falcon's conversion, but I couldn't remember who did it. BTW, he's selling copies of the conversion --- it's 1/72 scale though

I was just looking at this photo posted by Ben in another thread:



It would be interesting to see a Canadian F-16 in a similar pale grey and weathered state.

Hard to put a false canopy on a 16. Might be cool looking.
