F-16C Makos OIF

I randomly opened this kit's box while selecting my Ukraine F-16 build. I have no idea why this kit was halted but can hopefully salvage the build.

Some progress today. I sanded off all the filler on the intake and attached it to the fuselage. Also cleaned up around the cockpit area. I decided to keep the old pilot installation instead of replacing with a resin seat.

I hope the build salvage goes well. What you did in the past looks good.

Nathan, You're becoming more like me. 😉 Opening a box, seeing a half-built kit and not remembering: 1) that you had it in the first place, 2) what you intended with it, 3) but are willing to go in a completely different direction with it now. I do like the fact that you have a 3"x5" card with notes of your intentions in the box. I should start doing that. Pulling up a seat to watch the progress. Kind regards, Dutch

Thanks Jennifer & Welcome Dutch

Yes it is a problem. At least I left myself a note as seen in pic one. I feel bad for the poor guys that get my kits after I've passed on lol! Like this one it could be half built. Another thing I do is scavenge weapons from other kits. I think everything for this one came from my Kinetic F-16D.

My goodness a real rabbit hole I've fallen into researching the underwing & wingtip launch rails. I think I've found the correct LAU-129 type in my Kinetic F-16D kit.
