If so pretty sure I'll have both boxings and can look next time I am in Brisvegas and see if the Decals are any good if you are still chasing them.

My Database says

AW1013
Revell F-16

AW2010
Hasegawa YF-16/CCV

APS008
Hasegawa F-16A (has YF-16 decals)
Hasegawa YF-16/CCV

So they are there ... somewhere whereever those Moving Cartons are ...

Well if you are not in a hurry I'll probably be back there in 2 to 4 weeks and can check then ...

Have you got a kit that represents a YF-16? These do differ a bit from F-16As - different pointy nose (no radar), smaller horizontal stab's and probably a few more things. The thin pointy nose is the biggest giveaway for the YF-16.

I just had a quick look at accident reports for the early years of the F-16 - very humbling stuff. No wonder it earned the title "Lawn Dart" in those early years!

OK, well, I didn't know these markings would be so hard to come by, but I have just found/bought these on eBay:

They look pretty old, so I might have to hit them with liquid decal film, (or what ever it is called), before I attempt to use them. I would have thought some of the after-market produces would have done these, after all, it is a very attractive scheme.
Adam....the old kit I have is a very early "A" model, so I might have to do some re-shaping of that nose.
I also now want to do the F20 and F-18 in their respective prototype colours, cause they also carried very attractive colour schemes.

There was a guy in Norway of all places who put out a very accurate decal sheet for the prototypes, Vingtor Decals was the company I was thinking of.

They are now OOP
