| 2006 and all of them, except for ones in museums or other display, were destroyed by the Navy to keep Iran from ever getting any spare parts. That’s 38 million each! |

When no more 3/32" stringers will fit, I switch to 1/16" pieces and bevel one side to fit the hole. |

| I loved this kit. The way the fuselage looked after being infilled was something. One thing I would do differently is the wing glove skin on the top of the fuselage. The plan says to skin it with 1/16” thick balsa sheet and provides that material. Mine has cracked. I would overlay that with laminated cardstock or underlay it with 1/32” thick birch ply.. |

| Still one of my favorite builds. Thanks, DD. There's an F-16A there now for $39.99 |

After building this kit in 2007, over the years I gave the kit to 4 members of this group and all ( Julnick, Heywoood, and Don C., got built and are here on the site. Poppy left us before getting to his. I got this kit still factory sealed and undamaged for $40 plus free shipping so I snagged it. It has never been opened so I opened it to check the canopy. it's fine with only a small amount of yellowing common to this manufacturer. I removed and cleaned the canopy and put it in a plastic bag back in the kit. Everything will be left as is until I decide to build it. If I do it will have full landing gear. For now it sits on the shelf. |
