This
is my first submission on the ARC. The kit is the Tamiya F-16CJ Block 50,
with decals from Twobobs "60th anniversary Green Mountain Boys" Decal
No 48-139.

The VT ANG
uses the Block 25 model, but with the modernization CCIP, variants looks
almost the same, so I just built the kit OBB and omit the wild weasels
pods and AGM-88 missiles. I used pictures from the 158th wing
website to help me chose the weapons. AIM-120C at wingtips and
AIM-9X below the wings.
It was my first
experience with Tamiya kits. I was pleased to see the mounting screws for
the vertical stabilizers, everything align perfectly. The kit has the canopy
in both in clear and gold colour. Like the real airplane, I put the front canopy gold
and the aft one clear.
