I was kinda going along the lines of people having more money than brains type of thinking. A fun boys toy for the super rich.

That is so wrong on so many levels! I love it!

Just thought about something. I might need to keep the wing tip rails as I believe without them, the wings would have vibration issues due to flutter. I would have to scratch build some mass balancers or something like that in place of missles.

Ahh, the family model!

So, a rather unusual idea just popped into my head. Sitting at my modelling desk working on the Kinetic F-16(great kit, by the way!), I got to wondering what a civilian built F-16 would look like. Like, what if Lockheed Martin did to the F-16 as they did with the C-130 and made a completely new airframe for civilians with a lot of money, not demiliterized or bought second hand from some foreign country, but completely new without the weapons specific hardware. So, no chaff or flare dispensers, no RWR's, no hardpoints that can carry weapons. Although, I am considering leaving the centerline har

Some recent pics from the airshow at Maxwell AFB.

Regarding your first issue, it may be that the needle isn't properly seated in the nozzle or you may have a cracked nozzle.

Quite well done! And a striking livery to go with it!

Cool. It works.

Trying to post a photo from phone.

My apologies. I completely forgot about those two.

I got to see them flying over a couple of days ago along with a P-51 and a couple of F-16's. Flew right over my job for a couple of hours. If I'm not mistaken, these are the only F-35's in the country to have fully painted tails?

Steve has been extremely busy with his job since covid hit. As I understand it, he has been working upwards up to 70-80 hours a week to stay afloat. Family and health comes first. Coming from someone who had to work those kind of hours before, it will very likely put you in the hospital as it did me. I'm sure when he is able to, he'll be back.

It would be really nice to have one in 1/48! Kinetic, are you listening?
