Its not easy nor difficult but a bit challenging. You have got to test-fit quite a lot but still a build-able kit.

The best part of this kit, it has quite a lot of spare parts and loads of weapons but i chose to get the Skunk Models Workshop IDF weapon set because of the Python 4 and Spice bomb.

After a simple Google search I soon discoverd who the Negev Squadron was. To tell the truth I had no idea, for this I'm sorry and I mean no disrespect and, having been instanly informed, I can give you my honest opinion.

HOLLY COW is that pretty. Great colors, nice shinny glass work, pretty weaponry, overall Bravo Zulu to you.

Now, the one thing that bugs me, I sure do wish that the canopy met the fuselage evenly all the way around. I'm no expert, believe me when I tell you this, but it seems like the back of the canopy meets the fuselage very tightly and the front doesn't, its been black seemed. If I'm wrong, my bad for even saying what I said. If I'm right, then I'm just pointing out the differance between a gold metal winner and a master piece.

I chose the Negev squadron because of its unique tail marking. In fact the box gives you another marking which belongs to the Bat squadron.

About the canopy, yes the canopy fitted tightly. Even i wish it would fit nicely.

Really nice looking F16. The added avionics fairings give it a completely new look.

Erizemen: Thanks dude. You should start yours.

Al LaFleche: Thanks. I got to agree, it kinda looks different and in fact i find it looks 'beefier and meaner'.
