Hasegawa 1/72 Chilean F-16D "Peace Puma"

I saw this beautiful Chilean F-16 built by George Johnson a few years ago ((link)) and decided I had to build one myself (in my scale). I secured a Hasegawa Sufa as the base kit, and finally found some decals from TwoBobs on ebay (out of [...]

TF-51 Mustangs in 1/72
