Desert F-16



Looking at my first aggressor attempt, the results were less than acceptable.  Although its an old Monogram kit, the build did neither the kit nor subject justice.  So, time for a rebuild into a notable block 25 from Desert Storm.  84-1212 has been the USAFs only operational desert camo- and only for roughly a week until it was discontinued- in somewhat strange colors of FS 33711 and 33448.  Those rare colors were painted using their only version of Lifecolor .  The tail was replaced with Skunkmodels horizontal stabilizers and an Academy vertical stab, along with Hasegawa missile rails, pylons and bombs, Skunkmodel missiles, and detailed with Eduard and Quickboost parts and mixed Afterburner, Aeromaster, and Italeri decals
