Here are a few pictures of my recently completed F 16. It is an Arkansas ANG aircraft and was the squadron commander's aircraft in 2006. Paint is Tamiya rattle can and sprayed with a matt finish.

Nice clean build! As a squadron commander's mount should be!

Thanks Stik. I prefer planes that look like they just came out of paint. Tracking says your decals arrived today. Hope they suit your needs.

They probably arrived after I left for work. I'll let you know on both counts!

The decals arrived yesterday. Thank you. I have multiple 1/48 F-16s in my stash, so they will come in handy. I'm thinking a CAANG Viper... I need to do some research on those now.

There is no ugly F-16! After all this years it´s still a fine looking aircraft! Your´s no exclusion!
I wonder if ANG aircraft carry full loads of live ammo? Aren´t these just for "training"? Sorry if this is a dumb question, as we don´t have such military here in Germany...

Aside from stateside duties, ANG aircraft are deployed around the world flying combat missions as well. The protection of continental US and Hawaiian airspace is tasked out to the ANG. On 9/11 they were scrambled to shoot down aircraft that did not comply with the grounding orders. As well as fly combat air patrols over the capital and various major cities. Since the military downsized after the Cold War, the Air Guard is critical to providing various assets in all our areas of operations at home and overseas. The final operators and combat sorties of the F-4G Wild Weasels were flown by the Idaho ANG over Iraq.
