This model is in 1/72nd scale and uses the
Hasegawa F-16D as it's starting point. The avionics hump and new air intake are
from the DB range. All of the extra lumps and bumps for the EW suite are from
plastic card/tube etc.

Ejector seats are
Aeroclub, Harm's are from the Airfix
weapons set. The wingtip Python 4 AAM's are scratch built from photographs using
Contrail rod and tube for the bodies and .010" plastic-card for the fins.
Decals are from Aeromaster and the model is finished freehand with Humbrol super
enamels.
This was quite an involved project once I got
into it but I think the results are a very different looking addition to an F-16
line up and an aggressive looking Viper!
