I must admit to not being a great lover of the F-16 or any of its derivatives, but that scheme does seem to suit its strange shape, and the model is very nicely done.  :thumbsup:

I do hope the prediction doesn't come true however......

Nice! The F-2 is a good idea/basis for a navalized version. Well done!  :thumbsup:

Good job although I can't help thinking it would look even betterer with a less grey paint job.

The F-16 sales team have been bombarding the MOD UK to get them to buy new or secondhand ones every time there's budget cuts to the armed forces.
Great build.
