This batch is some
mostly older models. Also all of these models were damaged in the great
Cat-catastrophe of 2007. When Carl decided the top model shelf would be a nice
place to take a walk. All these models and a few more fell, squishing the
transports on the shelf below. In total 9 models were lost with a grand total of
29 damaged. As you can see I was able to mostly fix these guys.
Some small pitot
tubes have yet to be recovered and all of these either had wings, weapons or
canopies smacked off before this shoot. One of the models now suffers a
permanent list to port where the landing gear was fixed as well as I
could......These guys where never show winners...and thanks to Carl never will
be for sure now.

As mentioned all of
these are Hasegawa F-16CJs built Out of the box. All are from the 20th FW out of
Shaw air force base on the US eastern sea board. The 77th and 78 FS markings are
from Two Bobs, where the 79th tigers use the kit decals. The B model is at
least 10-15 years old and also uses kit decals.
Part 4 has at least
one model I liked the way it turned out. These ones.......well...........not so
much. The Hasegawa kits have their issues but with care can turn out VERY nice.
As long as your cat does not try to wreck them.
