That is a very nice chosen scheme, Alfred @alfred
Looking forward to it.

Good choice Alfred! It will make a good companion to my tail bird also 😉
Is that a dummy sidewinder ?

Hello Polly! Welcome aboard Alfred.

I do think it is called a smokewinder - a piece of equipment to make smoke at airshows, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Good choice of schemes, Alfred. Looking forward to your build progress.

Hi all,

Here’s my first update on the build of my Polly Grey viper.
The kit is rather mediocre, but I’ll try to make most of it though.
It’s the italeri 2786, which I already had on the shelf for quite some time.
The setup of this group build was a nice opportunity to make start with the F-16.

It will come as no surprise that, as with almost every aircraft kit, the construction starts with the cockpit tub and ejection seat.
Not very much detail over here, but with the addition of seat belts made out of masking tape and some PE leftovers I think the result is quite acceptable.
Thanks for watching and happy building!

The result of the cockpit is much more than acceptable, Alfred @alfred
This looks nicely detailed and realistic.

Thanks @johnb
