I fixed a few things but most I either can't or just don't feel like it's worth it. I know it's not going to win but I'll take it anyway. You just never know! :giggles:

Exactly right! You don't know I you will place or win, if you don't enter! :ballbat: A guy could build the best possible kit and not show up because they are afraid of what may turn up as competition. :whiteflag:

Thank you sir! The drop tank was a last minute addition that hides a few mistakes. :whistle:

Well done, Mike, looks real nice. Someday I may yet build an F-16. Never have, not one.

Ha ha, as usual it's not about needing to buy one, there are 28 F-16's in the stash, a number of them are Hasegawa or Tamiya but a lot of riff raff as well. Just haven't drug one to my bench yet.
