I bought this F-16A cheap, it's the early version of Hasegawa's 1/32 boxing. My goal is to build it into the F-16A Block 10 jet from the New York ARN/ 174 TFW, “The Boys from Syracuse” during the Desert Storm, 1991.

After looking over and reading info about the kit it seemed that the cockpit/ejection seat needed changing. So looking over reference photos I decided I could build my own and fix the cockpit tub.

Here is the kit ejection seat.



The seat is made from evergreen plastic















I will also be adding in a pilot and building it in an in-flight diplay.

I also plan on rescribing the raised panel lines. I will make the decals at home.

Happy Modeling,

Very impressive scratch building looking good so far.sounds like your in for the long haul

Oh I almost forgot did you make the warning decals or did they come in the kit?

Thanks Justin, for the seat decals, well they were made up from extras laying around and dry transfers.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Wow. What a start. I think I have this OLD (1977 release) kit in the stash somewhere, just barely started.

Hi Joe
Thats a fantastic looking bang seat you have built there. Maybe you should go into production
all the best with the build and keep us updated.
