I hope you won't be a judge judging this model in a near future Sorry, I fear that I've upset you. I'm not bashing you or this model at all, I'm in awe of your skill! I guess that it is unfortunate for you that I'm a huge F-16 fan and it's basically all that I build, so I noticed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm far from an expert, it's just my favourite jet. 11 hours ago, Omak said: very nice build ! at that times she was called FALCON, not VIPER, only recent Block70 are called like that. Officially, yes. The new F-16V blk70 was given the V designation due to the nickname Viper. As far as I know, the F-16 has always been the Fighting Falcon, but has be affectionately known as the Viper by pilots and crews. Similarly, the F/A-18C Hornet is often referred to as the Bug.

madcat911 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 That’s a nice build. Where did you get the wingtip Sidewinders from though? They seems to be Vietnam-era AIM-9Bs instead of L/Ms that would have been normally carried. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
