Here's my 1/48 Monogram F-16A
Fighting Falcon. This is how the Prototype F-16 72-01567 appeared on
Roll-Out at the Fort Worth plant on 13DEC73. I added a Black Box F-16A
cockpit that itself was modified to look like the prototype cockpit. The
kit came with a crude SIIIS ejection seat, I replaced it with a True Details
ESCAPAC seat. The SIIIS was used at times in the prototypes and FSD
aircraft but I have photos of 01567 equipped with the ESCAPAC on 13DEC73.

The only other mod was replacing the
kit exhaust can with a can from a Hasegawa F-16A. Decals are a mixture of
kit decals and SuperScale decals.
This is the 27th 1/48th F-16 I've built, the
other 26 will soon be seen on ARC.
