This is an F-16A Block 15 I did for the USAF
Museum here at Edwards. It was used by the 6510 Flt Test Sq. in the early
1980's. The kit was built using the BB Cockpit and a combination of kit/Superscale
decals for the basic markings and ALPS Printed decals for the tail no. (thanks
to Matt Graham!)

I thinned the gear doors to scale
thickness and used small diameter steel tubing for the pitot and AOA probes. I
also cut the Horizontal stabs back to "small tail" configurations and
thinned the trailing edges for a scale appearance as well. The static
dischargers are bristles from a tooth bush, but will be replaced as I think
they're too large. I used Model Master paints except for the exhaust where I
used original ALCLAD for the bright metal and new ALCLAD II "jet
exhaust" for the turkey feathers.
