I've done my best to reproduce a F-16C Block 30 serial 87-241 with the big mouth intake and General Electric F-110 motor.  It was the plane of the Colorado Air National Guard for the Tiger Meet of the Americas in 2001, piloted by Major Bill Orton.  I used an Hasegawa 1/72 kit number 00701 with the choice of two different mouths and motors.

The beautiful decals came from TWOBOBS (72-019), it is very accurate. The paint scheme was done with Gunze acrylic color FS36270 (H306) and FS36118 (H305) with paint brush.  I did a light weathering and I smoked the front canopy.  The kit is from the box with no specific adds on. I hope a majority of ARC members like it, I promise to show you other kits from my collection (modern jets, helicopters, interesting collection of desert storm vet machines, WWII fighters and bombers...) of approximately 100 1/72 kits done or to do!
