Hasegawa's 1/72nd scale F-16N. Verlinden resin seat, lead foil seatbelts with Model Technologies buckles, other Model Technologies bits around the cockpit, and ACMI pod scratched from a toothpick, lead foil and a straight pin. While not as nice as Tamiya's F-16, the Hasegawa kit holds up well for its age with no build issues. Decals, on the other hand, were a bit testy which is an occasional problem with Hasegawa decals. Using Mr. Setter/Mr. Softer, the first decal wrinkled up into a ball so after some experimenting the best solution was a little water and a little MicroSet on the model, apply the decal, let it sit for about 2 minutes, roll a q-tip dipped in MicroSet over the decal then leave it alone. Anything stronger than MicroSet was a no no. Paints are Model Master, metal areas are Alclad.
