Got the wings and tail pieces put together. I noticed on some F-16's the part that extends out past the rudder is shorter. I decided to go with the shorter version. Triangles are @4769 so I should have enough tris leftover for landing gear and cockpit interior.

Looks good so far! The picture of the orange F-16 reminded me of the 1/5 scale model someone made. Incredible amount of detail that went into his build.

Fast? This is me being slow I'm afraid I am going through a re-learning of everything process. It seems if you stop making EA's for any length of time you forget almost everything. I really should be working on easier planes I am not up to the level mentally that I am currently at (?) I sense that makes think of
Anyway I am kinda mad right now I had a perfectly good ejector seat from my Ultra Bandit model and it was lost (along with everything else I ever made) to a dead HD. So I got to re-make the seat from scratch. I hate doing things twice In fact I had to make each and every part of the last 3 or 4 planes from scratch since I have nothing in my "inventory of 3D parts". I also lost 1000's of great 3-views, vector images, texture files, logos and decals etc.. I still have the dead HD maybe I will send it to someone and try to retrieve the data.

That's why we need decals/logos and 3-views repositories on the forums.
I tried starting a decals repository but it didn't take off.

The new ejector seat looks good enough IMO + I set a triangle limit for it of 1k (its 946).
So there it is alone and installed in the plane. I never realized how laid back the pilot of an F-16 is, its tilted back at like 45 degree angle! The entire model is now at a tad over 7,000 tris.
