1/48 Tamiya F-16A

This is the Tamiya model kit n° 61022I decided to build an F-16A from the Portugal Air Force, so I made somes changes: the horizontal stabilizer was cut in the right place and it was added the "bubbles" in the tail. I added a resin ejection seat and the navigation lights. The exhaust pipe of the engine was "re"worked, I did this using strips of plastic from an old Credit Card. Two or three cables were added in the landing gears to look a little bit more real.

The decals are from Santa Cruz Decals, from Portugal. I received them from a Portuguese friend ... Thank you Felipe!
