F-16 Scale Model

This was my first serious scale model. Built in 1976, from 3 ring notebook filler paper and Scotch tape. The blue lines faded away long ago. It has an all-moving tailplane on a paper axle. It has been flown a lot. The tailplane got loose and was replaced a few years ago, and some missile fins need replacing. It is light, only 4.5 grams (vs 6.3 gram PAA limit), a little flexible, with a tape stiffened nose and structure that transmits crash loads well. It is in good shape considering it has been flown to death.
