These models show the two basic versions of the Italeri  F-16 series. Most Italeri kits always seem to have a few minor fit and accuracy problems, but when all is done & said the results are usually  a pretty decent-looking model. These kits feature much the same  part build-up and construction sequence as their high-rolling  Hasegawa cousins. However, surface detail and fit are not quite the same.  But overall, Italeri fill an important market niche- adequate detail, reasonable price and timely market entry; their F-22 and F-18F  are still the only 1/48 examples available.  Some text about your model goes here.  This would possibly include text about any resin or photo etched items used to create your kit, aftermarket decals used, paints used, things you liked or disliked about the kit.  Things used to weather your model.  You can also include history about the full sized plane if you want.

The F-16B in Norwegian markings was built straight from the box. The kit ACES II seats are excellent, although on my model they're still awaiting harnesses. Overall painting was done with Testor's MM Light Ghost Grey and the kit decals were used in finishing.

I added an Eduard F-16C cockpit set to the Israeli version-it too was painted in Model Master colors: sand, dark tan and light green- the earlier darker-toned Israeli colors. (Hatzor  AB 1992). The kit decals were used in finishing, but  an extra-glossy finish is required to get them to lay down without silvering.

The two-seater  can also be built up into the big-spined version of the 'D', although I am informed that changes and additions are necessary for an accurate Block   40 "Brakeet": larger  intake area, different gun port, and various WR   bumps.  Anyone who has built an Italeri kit or two knows the kind of modeling challenges you're in for with these kits, but overall, they're good modeling fun!
