This is one of the best kits I’ve ever built. It goes together without any problems. The trickiest part of building any F-16 is painting around the air intake. This is a challenge due to the sandpaper effect caused by air vorticies where many complex shapes converge. Luckily, the intake is separate assembly in this kit which I did not attach until after painting. The fit of this assembly is so perfect, it barely needs any glue and the result is seamless.
Thanks for looking,
