F-16C Block 30 - 466 FS

This is a Tamiya 1/48 F-16C Block 32 that was converted to a Block 30 by changing the exhaust nozzle. There is an inacurracy in this model because it does not have the "wide mouth" jet intake but I'm OK with it. The decals were a discontinued line from Two Bobs that I got from an online retailer in Canada.

The kit was excellent as advertised. I used Tamiya's update set to add the skin reinforcements and such, which turned out to make the model a bit more authentic. I used the LIGHTNING II and AN/ALQ-131 pods from a Kinetic kit; everything else was stock.

This model was made as a gift to a pilot who recently retired from the 466th FS stationed at Hill AFB.
