F-16 Agressor

[TJTX]

Hello!  It's been a minute since I've done this (4 years).  I'm excited to get back into building and visiting with old friends.  I've thought long and hard about where I'm going to start and ended up settling on Tamiya's F-16.  It's one of the most enjoyable kits I've built, impressive but not too big.  And most importantly, it's got some great paint choices.  I've decided on a BDU aggressor scheme out of Alaska.  Martin was incredibly kind and sold me a kit to start with.  Then I started tracking down some goodies.   Quinta interior, Quinta reinforcement plates, MCC ejection seat and canopy rail.  Reskit drop tanks and most likely missiles too.  Eduard paint masks and decal masks from Red Dog models.   I'll probably still end up ordering DN model paint masks as well. There's exhaust cover is coming from BNA model world too.  My goal is to have this built and ready as my model for 2026 Nationals.   Happy to be back and to start building soon, just need to track down all my building supplies again.  Also, a new work bench.

And that's the loadout it's gonna have.  I like the slightly offset load with training pods as well. Bandit Resin is working on those for me.  I have a few more weeks of building christmas decorations for the wife on my intermittent days off and then I look forward to diving in full speed.  I'm having to restart from scratch so it is taking time to remember what I need and thinking about which way to go on paints.  Leaning towards MRP this go around.

Anyone know which specific AIM 9 and AIM 120 those are?  Like to order some new ones from ResKit.
