Summary
Well I wanted a quick and hassle-free build and I almost got it apart from that annoying front intake seam. Apart from this minor annoyance the overall kit is very good straight from the box but can be nicely enhanced with some minor aftermarket parts as I used or you could go to town as Geoff did on his Tamiya F-16C Block 25.32 build.
I like the subject and the boxing gives you a nice variety of options from the early F-16N to the later F-16C Aggressors but be aware the weapon options contained in this boxing are limited to what I described earlier. That said it is a great starting point to producing any block F-16 you want as it has both intake and engine options included.
Overall a nice kit that is well within the capabilities of all but the most inexperienced modellers.
