ok folks I've gone up the mountain and received the blessings from or beloved leader, then after consulting the sacred spreadsheet and the alignment of the stars the following blessid dates were selected.

 

19th June to 19 September 21 will forever now be celebrated as F-16 Part Deux!

 

It nicely fits in-between the A-4 Skyhawk and F-14 Tomcat builds! :D

don't you have those naughty "Diana" decals sets?  I can't remember if I've got a set or not.

 

I do have something in the stash for this........but I may be tempted to go big with the Academy 1/32nd F-16I :D

Definitely not.  I have an aversion to "special" markings after a bad experience 33 years ago.   I much prefer standard line jets.

Count me in. I've got a half dozen on the shelf. I'm sure at least one will still be around.

welcome along, unfortunately there is a wee wait until this build starts.......but that I've you plenty of time to add to the collection! :thumbsup:

 

Ok time for a gratuitous plug and showing off some plastic porn!!!!  😊   I will not be responsible for what happens afterwards! :D

 

This arrived today and will be built in this build....that's only if I can't wait start on it before hand!

Was watching a boxing of the 'Top Falcons' kit on eBay with those Diana :wub: decals included but sadly it went for a lot more than I could afford :(  So it's back to that Hasegawa N in the stash for me.

I have to admit I'm sort off looking for a set of Diana markings as well. I don't have anything for them to go on...but that would be easy to fix! :D

 

But my biggest challenge at he moment will be trying to open up my new baby until the start of this build! 🥴

That reminds me that I've got the same kit in a "side stash" and the decals to produce a Polish Block 52 from it.....

Nice!!!  That would be the Hobbytime release of this kit, I see they include a Timer Meet scheme........I've been on the lookout for one of those as well.

Missed this one. I've a a few Tamiya kits in the stash so could either go with a USAF block 50 from Shaw AFB or backdate a kit to a Belgian F-16AM so count me in!

won't be the same without you.....glad you're along for the ride.

Hi Rich

 

No it's the same Academy SUFA boxing and a set of Techmod decals.  Unfortunately the decals only have one "plain" version for a "D" but also includes Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary for a single seater.

 

As for the Polish Tiger Meet aircraft....the idea of building a 48th version and adapting the decals to match the bits of the vinyl overlays which came off en route to the Meet appeals!
