1/48 Hasegawa F-16N

I built this kit a few years ago. It was originally built straight out of the box.  A few years later, I discovered the techniques involving future and flat coats to help with decals, so I decided this kit was in the need of a makeover.  I got a replacement set of decals from Hasegawa, as well as a replacement ACMI pod from Hasegawa's Weapon Set D.  The original kit pod looked like a blob of plastic compared with this little beauty. Creighton Henthorn Jr also provided a fantastic reference picture, located here. (http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=121262&hl=) Thanks Creighton!

So, armed with my new knowledge, I think the kit turned out great and gave it a new fantastic lease at life. It looks great in my cabinet now!
