    Awesome results my friend @fiveten
    It looks very realistic and makes the camouflage look even better.
    Superb interior as well.
    Just a couple of steps away from completion.

    She's already coated! And drying!
    Yep, you are right: the more you tone down/weather operational F-16s, such as this, the more realistic they look.

    You must be a Floyd fan judging by the Falcon's end over on your keyboard! Music does make assembly go much faster.
    Coming in for an upright landing any day now and looking just fine.

    Thanks my friend @eb801!

    I was 9 years old in 1975, when my Dad bought me from an American Base's AAFES PX a divine Technics component stereo system (my choices). The first two records that I told my father to buy for me were "Wish you were here" and "Dark side of the moon"; both were "American" copies, meaning excellent sound quality. It was a love affair ever since. Have all their records in vinyl, sans the "Division bell". Love them unconditionally. Rick Right is much missed.

    Spectacular, Spiros (@fiveten). It looks like it could fly off into the sunset.

    Looking excellent Spiros, really have enjoyed your build and have learned a lot about the Falcon in the process, thank you!

    Just caught up with this build, Spiros @fiveten, and have really enjoyed reading it, all your extra detailing work and puttying/sanding have paid dividends, looking forward to seeing it in headlines. Pink Floyd, Sid Barrett was my favourite, some great early songs like "Careful with that axe, Eugene" and "Set the controls for the heart of the sun"... ah, memories.
