Here is some photos of my latest plastic model built in 1/72 scale. The model depicts a block 30 F-16C of the First Jet squadron. Several months prior to the July-August 2006 Lebanon War, F-16C no.348 was painted with trial tail fin markings that is a variation to the First Jet squadron's squadron markings. The significance of these aircraft is that it was the only airplane to fly with these markings during the Second Lebanon War.

Model is shown armed with a pair of Rafael Armament Development Agency Spice air to ground missiles, a pair of Python 4 air to air missiles at the underwing tip stations and a pair of Raytheon AIM-9L Sidewinders at the wing tips. For the long range mission it carries centerline and wing fuel tanks. 

This model no.348 and F-16C no.364 are based on Revell's 1/72 F-16A kit with F-16C parts taken from a Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit. 1/72 scale decals for F-16C no.348 are found in Sky's Decal SD-33 decal sheet.
