So here is my 1/72 Hasegawa F16N. 

 

Pretty much as it comes, but had some revell upgradings - bang seat, main wheels and winders. 

Then from my casting project - Hasegawa GE tube and AB face from a B/D tomcat, and a GE nozzle from the fujimi B/D tomcat. 

 

Three weeks to complete, could have been less if I didn't have concurrent activity disease. Also lost a few days removing the wing walk decals to make it more accurate (thanks @Pappy ) and then subsequently repairing/touching up the paint, but it turned out better in the end for it. 

 

Enjoy!

USAF Flight Test Center aircraft rarely carried unique test program markings. Such markings are usually associated with company demonstrators or NASA projects. It was unusual to see four F-16s at Edwards sporting program markings in the late 1980s: Air Defense Fighter, Auto TF, F-16D Digital Flight Controls, and F-16 Digital Electronic Engine Controls.

This is the Hasegawa F-16B in the guise of a test bird from the LANTIRN Combined Test Force at Edwards AFB in 1988.The short title for the testing done by this particular Viper was called Automatic Terrain Following, hence the AutoTF marking on the tail. The aircraft was used to evaluate the integration of the LANTIRN navigation pod functions with the F-16 flight controls and the Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI, what many would refer to as ergonomics or human factors). 

Additions are True Details ACES II ejection seats and scratch-built HUD. The LANTIRN nav pod is from a Hasegawa Weapons Set.

Paints are ModelMaster. Basic markings are from an old Microscale sheet. The unit specific markings were drawn on my computer and printed on Experts Choice laser decal paper.

WIP is here

Hmmm, looking through the photos, the right side pitot seems to have disappeared. May have to fashion a replacement.

 

Thanks for looking,

Revell 1/72nd F-16C of the 363rd TFW from Shaw AB, when it was painted in an experimental colour scheme during Desert Shield that was dropped for being too effective. The markings come from Hi-Decal.
