Hello All,
I'm busy doing the Research to be able model my own 3D mesh YF16 in Blender.
I'm looking for a real-life scale models, photos, to get more insight in her cockpit layout.

Questions:
Can you help my by sharing what you think is the best YF16 prototype scale-model on the market today?
And - If you have build one yourself - Can you show me some pictures of here cockpit?


Here is an overview of my (early) Blender 3D mesh modeling work:
F-16C Outside, Rigging panel for the animated parts and the 3D (virtual) cockpit (modeled after an F16C)

The Hasegawa YF-16 is the best in 1/72nd scale. The only 1/48th scale kit is by Arii, and its awful. But if you are ambitious, you can kitbash the Arii kit with parts from an early Tamiya F-16 kit and a Hasegawa F-16A kit and produce something decent. Its been discussed elsewhere on this forum. Lots and lots of plastic surgery are involved.
