2010 Thunderbird Number 5 (note the inverted "5" on the intake). great kit, if I was to make this again I would seriously consider painting the red and blue sections. the decals were great, but it is asking a lot for them to conform to such complicated areas such as the nose and tail fairings. Anyway, here is my F-16C, warts and all:

One of my favourite fighter jets Joe and in these colors its stunning. Fantastic build and a great recovery of the decals. Top marks mate.
