These are the legendary Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) acrobatic planes, known as 'Black Knights'. In the early days, only A4-SU Super Skyhawks were being used, then F-16A 'Fighting Falcon' were added into actions. From the last Asian Aerospace 2000, 4 A4-SUs (1, 2, 3, 4) and 2 F-16As (5, 6) were being flown, forming a spectacular display and created a new history in acrobatic display where 2 different types of planes were flying together. This is extremely tough and difficult as both planes have different controls and manoeuvres. During Singapore National Days, 'Black Knights' or current F-16s would always fly past during the celebrations to give the audiences a amazing flypast. Happy 41th National Day!!!

All kits were built out of box. Only Legends ACEII seats were being used for the F-16C and F-16D. No weathering was done as I am still new in aircraft modeling. Hope you like these models and pictures.

Legends resin ACEII seats are used for this kit. I find the details are quite good as compared to the original kits from Hasegawa. And it is cheap as well. However, extra care and effort are always needed as these resins are delicate and breaks easily.
