I am in with the Kinetic F-16I. I have always liked the brute ugliness of the F-16 with the dorsal spine and especially the CFTs, so this will give me an opportunity to do one. The goal being a three foot build to pay my respects.

I have the Afterburner decals 22FS sheet with it's DJ decal option, and the idea of doing a Have Glass build with a souped up F-16 sounds like fun. I not going to add too much to the build, just a Shawn Hull Sniper pod and maybe some weapons. I have some Wolfpack JSOWs that I've been wanting to use for a while, and I am thinking about making some EGBU-12s and maybe getting some Shawn Hull WCMDs, so we'll see.

No pics yet. Hope to start soon.

Cool beans! Can't wait to see some progress on it! I hope to get to mine again in a few days. we were at the inlaws' this weekend, and now I'm sick with a fever and a cough. Probably not the best for me to be around chemicals and such right now.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Been working on the project as much as work allows. I went out of order and put the CFTs and spine on before the fuselage is together. Probably an ill advised attempt to get the ugly going early. There is a slight bit of softness and slight warping to the fuselage, so the spine probably helps.

Doing the same with the bottom half, though the intake isn't glued yet. There is a lot of flexing to this piece, so the intake will definitely get glued in soon. Sorry for the out of focus pic.

I made a wine bottle foil intake cover, part of the fun build thing, don't want to mess with those intakes too much. I didn't take pics, but it is looking OK so far.

Thanks for the comments! :wacko: I haven't worked on this one as much as I would like, but the fuselage is together and I am almost to the cleanup before painting stage. :banana:

I've been trying to figure out what to hang on this one. I am thinking about putting some things on that current USAF F-16s don't carry, I have some Wolfpack JSOWs, but I am looking for more things. I was looking for Skunkworks NATO weapons set, but they are sold out almost everywhere, but the Israeli set is available, so maybe GBU-15s and AGM-142s would work...

Coming along bud :thumbsup:

Do not feel bad about not having time to work on it, I have not been-able to even get to a project yet :bandhead2:.

I am sure you will surprise us with the weapons load :)
