Cool, a family model! Are the markings the standard subdued USAF markings or will they be of the more flamboyant variety?

Very cool! There's some minor differences in the ROCAF and a USAF jet.

It does give the choice to build an F-16A single seater and an F-16B two seater. I’m not a big fan of two seater Vipers. This one is going to be a single seater.

I’ve started assembling the cockpit minus the bang seat. That’s enough for tonight. It’s been a long day on the road.

A model. I never liked the looks of a two seater Viper. :bag: :giggles:

Cool - I like a viper build. Luke is about 20 miles north of me and I wouldn't be surprised if these have flown over the house, though we see more F-35s these days.
Thanks,
John
