Yeah I've looked forward to building this for some time so thought it worth adding the extras

My holy land is builld is on the go

The Wolfpack resin cockpit is a direct fit with some minor plastic removal, the rear aires wheel bay again is a direct fit but the front will need some fettling to fit. Been looking forward to this build for a long time

An F16 was my first 1/72 scale kit I build a looooong time ago (I made 1:144 before). Thunder Birds from Hasegawa back in the 1990s I think. And it is still my favorite aircraft. Can't wait to see it coming alive in 1/32, full upgraded, and dressed in one of the most beautiful camo!

Nice!

I have a Kinetic 1/72 Sufa in my stash so maybe I should join this SIG...

Good luck with the build.

Hi Paul so much detail in such a small space very nice up grade it's certainly worth the time and effort and the £££

Progress on the Wolfpack resin cockpit today, great piece of resin, once the plug was removed its a direct fit

Thats a nice looking cockpit.Two f16s to follow.
I'll look forward to seeing them both completed as I was thinking of building an F16

As the bike is finished (for now) I'm back on the 1/32 Academy Sufa. The Wolfpack resin cockpit is beautiful, primed and base painted in mr Hobby H317 (i Think lol cant remember) and some of the buttons detail painted. Still lots to do and it looks crap till its tidied up with a wash.
