1/48 Hasegawa F-16A Thunderbirds

This is Hasegawa's 1/48 F-16A Thunderbirds.  It was built straight out of the box with the exception of the ejection seats. I used Verlinden seats for that.

I decided early on that the provided decals wouldn't do justice to this kit, so everything was painted on with the exception T-bird logo and stars on the tail. They were meticously and carefully cut out off the decal sheet, The USAF stencils, national insignias and flags were also decals.

 

The intake covers are from an old Monogram kit that I have.
