since the f-15 is ground attack oriented, I figire the F-16 should be ready for air combat. Here is a quick mock up of the weapon pylons. I did a quick mod to make the inner pylons similar to the f-15 in that there are two missiles above the fuel tank...and yes that is a TER with launch rails!

Nice work, owl. Good use of the sprue, too.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

nah, I just like to have a group of planes to paint when I airbrush. Makes it worth all the setting up and cleaning

Once again Miss Owl, your work in Braille Scale is quite impressive! :twisted:
