Imperial Iranian Air Force F-16A

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Imperial Iranian Air Force F-16A

Post by Falcon »

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.

Very nice Chris. The colour scheme suits the aircraft well. 8-)

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

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".
