trickyrich Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Seeing we are revisiting quite a few GB's form the past I thought it was time (well you can thank @vppelt68 for reminding me ) to re-visit everyones favorite/favourite little Light Weight Fighter, the F-16! It has been a few years since the last one, 2017...I know because I hosted that one, so 2021 is about right to do it again. The F-16 is still a front-line assert in most air forces around the world....well those not silly enough to go the F-35 path...... trust my lot too! ......and i know there's masses of F-16's in stashes so there's no excuse to help make room in the stash of even more models! Ok with the last F-16 STGB, allowed the Mitsubishi F-2 because of it's an F-16 on steroids. The F-16XL is ok of course in it's demo schemes, but this time I'm opening it up just a wee bit more. The proviso is that it's in a proper operational F-15E Strike Eagle scheme!!! The F-16XL was up again the F-15E Strike Eagle for the US Air Force's "Enhanced Tactical Fighter" competition, which it lost out to in 1984. So by some twist of bazaar fate (or me having a night on the rum back then), something mysteriously happened and the F-16XL won the competition. So for one time only I'm allowing and F-16XL in either current or former F-15E colour schemes...Israeli F-15I scheme? * referenced from?

rafalbert Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have a few in the stash too. Count me in. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Well why not. I think I have around 8 Israeli F-16's in the stash, so I'll play along as well. /Bosse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The varnish has like a rainbow metallic fleck to it. Hard to describe. But that way all the markings will be covered in it too 👌🏽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I find I have a surprising number of F-16s in the stash needing an excuse to be built so please count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Add me to this list, I am thinking of a F-16A of the New York ANG that carried a gun pod under the fuselage in Desert Storm for a few missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I actually don’t have a big stash or any F-16s, however I do have a massive decal book for Israeli F-16s after my one and only F-16 build but really fancy doing a sufa and a Greek and polish and an American.... ‘Yes please for me...

Vingtor Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have 20-30 F-16 models that I would like to do (and I even have the kits). A STGB might help me finish one.... Count me in. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 welcome everyone and a great initial response, so guess I'd better get list started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Count me in. I have a couple of F-16s in the stash, one of them is earmarked for the VISTA NF-16D so might build that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 While not a huge Falcon fan, I do have a kit I've been looking forward to building. So I'm in if life & timing coordinate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm in as well, I have a few F-16s somewhere in the stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yes please Rich. Ironically, this lightweight fighter will be the heaviest model in my 1/100 scale collection! Cheers 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I’d be interested, probably a block 60 like they used to have in Phoenix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Oh go on then. They're boring grey things for the most part but there is a Hasegawa F-16N in the stash that'll need build one day so may as well be in good company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thinking of it, the N is the stripped down aggressor for the US Navy.....most decidedly not the standard grey scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
