Since the F-104, I don’t think that there has been a more attractive single seat, single engine fighter than the F-16. Too bad that most of the production paint schemes can’t reflect that…

Se Tscherman approves!
Very nice build and scheme. Never saw the German colors on an US jet.

Totally agree. But there are some cool anniversary/ commemorative schemes from all over the world. Even the SEAC scheme that Mike just finished.

I think the last good looking fighter type airplane the US has fielded is the F-15C, very handsome to my eye once it is in the air.

That's a really nice looking build - bravo! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

The Viper is a pretty jet I agree, but if you want a nice looking single-seat fighter, then I've got to throw in one from the home-team - Hawker's finest.

The Eagle just looked like a prize fighter.
