Just finished one of my project F-16's.
This is my Imperial Iranian Air Force F-16A.
The Iranians had ordered 160 with options on a further 140.
After the Shar of Iran was overthrown in 1979, the US Government cancelled the the whole order.
Used the old Hasegawa 1/72 F-16A kit for this with the early horizontal stabs from the Revell kit and Hi-decal line decals.

That's a great looking build!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Very nice Chris. The colour scheme suits the aircraft well.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Re: Imperial Iranian Air Force F-16A
I was in two minds about this when I saw the header but WOW, that looks so good in those colours. You've made a super job of this "almost was" rather than a true "what if".
