    Hi everyone!
    Was asked by a friend to prepare him an F-16 in Greek colors by the end of March, in order to give it as a present to a friend of his, who is an F-16 pilot.
    Here are the kit contents...

    ...and here is the progress so far... Planning for aquick build, whatever that means...More to come!

    Looking forward to your progress on this kit, Spiros (@fiveten). I have built this kit before, and I don't think you will have any trouble finishing it on time. I was going through my stored models and came across a 1/48 Kinetic F-16XL-2 that I thought might be fun to do in some hypothetical colors.

    The intake is always a problem area on F-16s, Spiros (@fiveten). I should clean up nicely.

    Could not resist and added a simple drogue chute housing aft of the rudder, as Hellenic birds feature it...
