Hi Greetings from Panama:
 
This is my first post with my own scale models, seen some great scale modelers here, just wanted to share my not-so-pro-scale-modeling-skills.

The Chilean F-16 is an Italeri 1/48 with Eagle Strike Decals, the decals are incorrect in color and represents FACH 721 Blk 20 MLU that Pres. Bachelet received at the hangar last year from RNlAF.  I didn't weather the jet.  Just Fuel tanks, no armament since most pics of Chilean MLU vipers are clean.  The Pilot came from an old F-15A Monogram kit. Chile has ordered 10 Blk 50 (6 C models 4 D models) that will be supplemented with 18 second hand F-16 (11 A models 7 B models) from the RNlAF, those A/C will replace the aging Mirages 50 Pantera and will allow the FACH to stablish a Second F-16 Sqn.

The Aeronautica Militare Viper is an Old Revell 1/48 F-16 ADF variant that endured several unauthorized handling by my little cousins, broken pitot tube that was fixed using a needle (Tip taken from ARC), with Decals from Italeri's kit.  AMRAAM's and Sidewinders from the same source, No weathering.

Having not seen many Chilean or AMI vipers, here's my contribution to the site.

Cheers.
