    Hi all, I'm a bit late to bring my contribution to the group, sorry for that. I have chosen the kit from kinetic, which I experienced before for the single seater version. For the decals I will make the Belgian version of the MLU F-16B, for this I will go for the FB-21. Why this is the last one who flew over my head this week.

    The decals have been purchased model maker Poland.

    I have this kit floating around somewhere in my garage, Yann (@yann). Looking forward to your build so I can see what to expect.

    Never too late to enter a build, Yann @yann
    This will be a great dual seater.

    Thanks a lot my friends @johnb,r @gblair, @fiveten. So let's get started, as usual I'm starting with the cockpit.

    Fwd IP

    Aft IP

    Side panels

    I'used Mr Hobby Paint H12 and highlight the MFD screens with gloss black Mr Hobby H2. All the knobs have been retouched with ordinary pencils and some colors touch up..

    Thanks for passing by.

    Great idea to use colored pencils to do the knobs and detail on the cockpit panels, Yann (@yann). I really need to give it a try since my detail painting isn't as steady as it used to be.

    Interior is really coming together, Yann (@yann). All of your detail work is really paying off now.
