I have been wanting to build this plane for a LONG time and this kit is the first time I've been able to do it in plastic, in this scale. The kit is nearly perfect. There are s few fit problems but they can all be fixed with a little filling and sanding. It comes with an amazing array of weapons option so you can model the actual test bed aircraft or a what-if line aircraft in service. It also has painting instructions and decals to finish it in service with USAF, NASA, or IDF units. Most aftermarket F-16 decal sets will work with little adjustments too. I built mine with a set from TwoBobs and they worked out just fine. The cockpit is nicely done and has plenty of detail to show off with an open canopy. I will be getting a second kit to build again as a two seater.
