I am working on a Litening II pod (without pylon) so maybe it will be available soon. I will keep everyone posted. David

Wonder if there is duct tape that is to scale? PS, dont forget to drill a hole to stop the crack from getting longer...... David

I purchase my #80 (.0135")drill bits at a local tool store called Wholesale tool. I end up breaking a bunch of #80 bits so I have a few around. There are Wholesale tool stores around the USA(assuming you are in the USA) http://www.wttool.com/ David

It was tight between the intake trunk and outer intake section but the wires run in there nicely. Still wish I had the room to make the ground power connection a true connection point and hide a switch and power in the cart. Not quite enough room there. Here is a pic, the focus is not the best with the camera I am using. David

I plan on running the wires down the MLG as brake lines and through a Doirama base. Or that is the plan. Right now, I have a switch and barrety that will fit in the fuselage. David

Here is another shot with the brake parts separated and the punched out section on the other set of brakes. David

I made them using my trusty Waldron punch set, .010 thick plastic, odds-n-ends plactic shapes and a few beers to calm the nerves. Now making the corrections, like hinge points, and panels that open to clear the brake......and fuselage fixes. I about scrapped the idea of detailing the brakes but now I think I will continue.

here is picture 2 David

I started scractcbuilding details on the 1/32 hasagawa F-16C Here is photo 1 of 2, kit and reworked parts David

LOOKS AWSOME! is it 1/72 scale? David

interesting trivia on the lights. One thing I did not mention on this kit is my attempt to correct the BB HUD to match the "WAR" hud. The resin kit places the HUD control too far fwd under the glareshield so I cut it from the MIP and moved it aft. I had to make new side glare guards around the center panel with the standbys. I will have to send a good side shot later. Thanks for the good comments. David

Just the Nav lights, It was tough enough getting the 1/32 scale switch for the cockpit........ I had the kit so I needed to build it. Maybe another F-16 some day. Maybe Hobby Lobby will carry the Tamiya F-16 during the 50% off sale. I will be watching. David

Unbelievable, great work David

Can't wait for the Academy or Tamiya kit. I bought this kit about 4 years ago and the best way to make room in the stash is to build it. I actually started on this kit years before I knew about any Academy or Tamiya kit in 1/32. David

Here is another shot

Now for some cockpit photos and corrected gun bay modifications. 1/32 Hasagawa F-16C

Here it is with the lights glowing..... David

Here is a picture of my F-16C block 42. I have working nav lights. This picture is with the room light on so you cannot see how bright the lights are. It is the 1/32 Hasagawa Kit David

The gray is FS36375 and on Sparrow and AMRAAM missiles, the nose cone(radome) is white. Al the colors are flat finish. As for the bands, there are colors on the diffrent sections. Warhead section is Yellow (for live warhead), Guidance and motor sections have a dark brown band. There was a thread in general discussion titled "practice sidewinders" that may explain more. David

Got the Cutting edge F-16 MCID seamless intake and they goofed on the order. I received two sets and only ordered one. Two sets were in one bag

Cutting Edge makes these scoops in their update set, cec32086 F-15E Update David
