Very nice Chris, I didn't realise you would be building three of them when you announced your entry the other day? This will look very cool as a display piece when finished, well done!! Cool ThumpUp

Maybe you should buy one of those handmade wicker bowls to use as a base .... then you can "keep all of your eggs in one basket"?! LOL Laugh

HaHaHa!! LOL Laugh LOL Laugh LOL

I remember reading somewhere a while back that Vallejo had made a special paint just for these 'Thunderbird' F-16s eggplanes..... I think it was called 'Egg White', but be careful when stirring it as it does tend to fluff up a bit!! Laugh LOL Laugh

Haha you lot are Nuts..... lol
Here is my first update.
I have started off by gluing the two halfs together and fitting the air intake.
Once done I then decided to remove the flaps on the wings and the pitot tube. Once done I the started to add a little detailing in various places. With these eggs you can get away with out of scale and bigger than normal detailing.
There is plent more areas to do more.
