This kit is the Hasegawa 1/48 F-16CJ Block 50.  

Decals are from ASTRA. The sheet calls for the 3 tone grey scheme but I opted to use the 2 color grey scheme from the ASTRA Aviano sheets instead. I found some pics on http://www.defenselink.mil with some SP coded F-16CJ's and they were in the 2 tone scheme. So I copied that. 

The kit is built mainly out of box except for the following:

Cut and dropped the flaps.
Added needles for the sensors on the side of the radome.
Replaced the pitot tube with brass tubing.
ALQ-131 is from the Verlinden F-111 set
Static dischargers are cut from a scrub brush I found in the kitchen.
Painted wth Aeromaster acrylics.
ACES II seat is from Neomega.

I got the idea for cutting the flaps and adding static dischargers from Kelly Quirk's gallery entry also on ARC.
