It's been quite some time since I began working on this kit. The simplicity of its build impressed me a lot.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about its level of detail. Original panel lines look awful, almost in a cartoonish way, but worst of all, they aren't correctly aligned, not mentioning the fact that some panel lines are missing. Nose shape is incorrect in almost everything.

Another urgent matter is related to the engine nozzle. The one designed for the kit doesn't look exactly like a real Pratt & Whitney F-100-PW-200

So I thought to myself: Fine, let's see if I can do something about it instead of just complaining hehehe! And here are some good (ok, not that good :P) results:

Now I guess this F-16A looks way more "Falcon-ish" than before, but there's still a lot of work to do. Cockpit layout and canopy goes next. This is the beta build test, so suggestions are welcome!
