F16 Fighting Falcon Cockpit

Scale 1/12 Kit Manufacturer Italeri Year 1979

The cockpit of a modern fighter aircraft always arouses curiosity and fascination in aviation enthusiasts. The F16 Fighting Falcon has ts ejection seat located to ensure peak comfort for the pilot in spite of the F-16's top level acceleration and maneuvering capabilities, its instrument panel has large LQ screens instead of the traditional analogic variants.

As I have always enjoyed detail painting this was really just an exercise in this, it was built OOB and still is the only military model I have built to date. This was built sometime ago and I would add alot more weathering if I re-built it today, I believe there is also another cockpit model from Italeri - the F104G.
