   To answer the previous question from Mattius, when I build with Lego, I try to picture the mini-fig as being the average size of an adult human male (about 6 feet tall), but I don’t try to scale the entire design of my Mocs off of this ratio because it’s Lego and Legos are going to “boxy” no matter how you use them.

I’m not sure I agree that Lego is boxy however you use it. With good sculpting, SNOT and lots of revision it should be possible to get quite a smooth shape at the size you are using for this. This was a fairly quick build of mine (not based on anything real) and I feel I managed to make the nose quite smooth and there’s a lot of other work out there which is much better than that.

And I do like your F-16. In particular the landing gear is a great design and I like the way you did the cockpit.
