Welcome aboard @johnb. Looking forward to see your small F-16 🙂

@airbum, thanks, Erik. Will do my best to get this little Falcon look like a real one.
@alfred, absolutely. 311 was always my favorite, not sure way, maybe because I saw a lot of them at Volkel during my childhood. Unfortunately it does not exist anymore since 2012.

311 Sqn, 322 Sqn, and my 323 Sqn Viper. Should be fun.

It would be nice if there were decals for these markings that J-636 sported in 1998:

Finally I have the Falcon at home. The shipping was a real adventure and it took 10 days in total for a distance of just 100km within the Netherlands. At a certain moment I even received the information that they could not locate the package anymore 🙁 Finally after a couple of days I noticed that, according the tracking information, my Falcon was on the move again. Two days ago I received the information that it was delivered, could be, but definitely not at my address. Tracing the package I was finally able to pick it up today at the incorrect address.
Hopefully the building will be less stressful.

The hasegawa boxing looks very attractive and also the artwork is pretty nice.

Inside the box is a bag containing some light grey sprues and an additional bag inside with a transparant sprue.
All parts looks very clean, no flash.

What surprised me is the details on some of the parts, even this is 1/72 scale.

Decal sheet look good as well.

All instructions are printed on one side of this paper.

While on the other side all schemes are present. Mine will be the J-636 from 311th squadron at Volkel airbase.

You might be right about that one, Erik @airbum

Alfred @alfred, yes three Dutch birds would be very cool to see.

The biggest external modification you will have to do to the Hasegawa kit is build the extended parachute housing that is at the base of the tail. This housing extends backwards until it is even with the end of the jet nozzle. Even your linked artwork shows this extended tail. You should be fine with the standard -A cockpit layout as J-636 was part of the first production order of F-16s and was delivered as a block 15.

Here is the history of J-636 from delivery to current use by the Chilean Air Force with photos:

Hope this helps.
