Thank you very much. I am going to put these aside. I think I might have to try a build like that sometime. I just really like the layout.

yea that paint scheme is quite appealing to me too.

i found out all this info on http://www.f-16.net very usefull website. also lists a variety of paint schemes and says what colours are used for them in modeling! so you can paint any f-16 model any scheme they show (as long as your not bothered about it being acurate to the particular aircraft!

Gratz on the ebay win and thanks for the links... I am going to have to take some serious time to look through those pages. I think it may even be time to order 2 or 3 F-16 kits. I seem to have a bug in me to put a couple together...hehe.. (as he says knowing he is working on a P40, a F9, a monster truck, and a wasp class carrier...)

well i have always loved the f-16, but not made an f-16 kit in about 10 years and that was 1/72 and have no idea what happened to it....now i think im obsessed. i am doing the Italeri F-16 1/12 cockpit. will be doing the F-16A 2002 tiger meet by hasegawa (1/48) and after that im doing a 1/1 F-16 flight stick, and after that i will do another 1/48 (prob in the above colour scheme) and then....a 1/32 F-16. just got to read lots of reviews and see who does the best 1/32 F-16 between Acadamy/Tamiya/hasegawa.

with my big badda boat in amongst all of that lol. (dont worry richard i have been working on her this week...red-did all 3 main turrets on over the weekend)

We can handle 9-G turns no problem trust me.

By the way, the weight being at the tip doesn't present a major problem since the aircraft was designed to carry such a large weapons load. The F-16 is one of the few aircraft ever designed to be aerodynamically impossible to overstress. In regards to the CoG issue, the CoG at subsonic and below is at the quarter chord, which is right about where the missile's CoG rests. The influence of the missile on CoG is really quite negligible and only a concern in the high AoA flight regime (take off, landing, ACM) all of which are quite subsonic. Supersonic CoG effects are trimmed out by the uber powerful flight computers.

What blows my mind is how you brits managed to mount missiles on TOP of wings and we never decided to try that. I mean, missiles below a wing are cool.. but missiles below AND above is friggen awesome!
