(...) Hi Magnus, Thanks for the reply. I'm glad that you like my F-16. As I wrote before, when trying to build realistic models with LEGO you always have to compromise, since you simply cannot reproduce all the difficult shapes you'll find on an (...)

Ralph, Very nice indeed, and an interesting camo scheme too! It is always interesting to see how different builders approach modeling the same thing in their own way.

Very nice! Great job with the colour scheme, landing gears and nose. You can also call that IAF scheme and put weapons on it. My only suggestion is this part in new dark gray is perfect for the engine exhaust: (URL) (18 years ago, 23-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
