Re: Blowing off the dust
I remember always wanting that kit back in the 70's. It wasn't until the early 2000's that I finally got one and I did make the landing gear work too when I built mine! It had the same box art too.

A few pics of my old shelves in the garage from 3 houses ago. Most of these did not survive. Pics would have been from late 90's or so
Thanks,

Very nice builds!
I remember seeing the F-16XL kit years ago in my youth years.

Always fun to look at the stuff we did in the wayback. All the models I did before 1964 never got recorded in photos and my mother tossed them all when I was in basic training and college.

Wow John! What an amazing set up you had! I love it! And what a trophy case of awards! You rock man!
Johnny, I remember seeing that pic from before. I love it! I also built an F-16XL and still have it...
John, that's too bad they got tossed. I'm so thankful that when I moved out, my mom asked me if I still wanted them all. When I told her yes, she packed them all up and brought them down to me.
