If you look closely the aft outer edge of the exhaust nozzle looks too smooth to be real.

Other errors-
No FAV drag chute housing, no AoA probes, no main gear drag braces, no total temp probe, no pitot tube, no RWR antenna blister, LEF at zero degrees (should be -2 deg.). Nice model.

The red "remove before use" flags are blowing in two different directions. The one under the intake is blowing forward and the one on the nose if blowing to the left. Same angles in two different shots.

From what I've read online, it seems as if Hugo Chavez has supplied a F-16 to Iran for threat analysis against Israeli F-16I's. Honestly though, it's comparing apples to oranges. Venezuelan F-16's were block 15's if I'm not mistaken, Israeli Vipers are 50/52+.



Block 15S, I think.

Regardless of them being models, the likely hood that the event did happen is pretty high in my opinion. The transfer of a block 15 wouldn't be too difficult considering Venezuelan mechanics have had about 10+ years of experience on the jet. Although a futile attempt at threat familiarization, the fact that they are looking to study an F-16 shows that they are preparing for a preemptive strike.

Preemptive strike against whom?
As for experience with the Viper, the FAV has about 29 years of experience.
I think Iran has both hands full at the moment if you check the news.
