    Few more WIP 🚧 pictures.
    In the second picture you’ll see my “paint mule”.
    Can you guess the plane/kit?

    Hi Alfred, your F-16 is coming along very nicely!
    Is that a OV-10 Bronco, aka "paint mule"?

    Nice pre shading on the Viper. Cessna O-2 Skymaster as a paint mule? Why not, mine is a Monogram Me 262.

    Great progress indeed, Aflred @alfred
    Is that an F-100 Super Sabre that you have on that "bedankt" postcard.

    Thanks John. @johnb
    Good observation, a Hun indeed.
    I got it from the N.M.M. Soesterberg together with a certificate as a thank you for my financial support for the restoration of the F-100. It’s on display in the museum. A must see. Ever been there? There’s a temporary exhibition around the 50th anniversary of the F-16 currently, which I can recommend.

    @alfred, that is a nice thank you from the museum.
    Yes, I've been there a couple of times, absolutely worth the visit. A good idea to visit it soon again with the 50th anniversary of the F16. Was not aware of that.

    Amazing progress Alfred, your airbrushing looks fantastic.
    If we every fly through Amsterdam again, I'll make sure I give myself an extra day and have time to visit N.M.M. Soesterberg.

    Thanks George. @georgeswork
    The N.M.M. is definitely worth a visit.
    Below a few pics of the restored Hun that flew for the 32nd TFS back in the 50’s, I was referring to in my answer to John @johnb

    @alfred, the National Military Museum is definitely worth a visit. As a matter of fact, I did visit it today. Mainly because of the F16 exhibition. The F100 was indeed on display and looks very nice. At the F16 exhibition I found the information on the chute installment and the reflection coating on the canopy. See the attached picture for the explanation.
