Probably more resin cockpit sets have been done for the F-16 than any other aircraft around. What with the differences between the different major variant as well as those for the block numbers, I'd say at least a half dozen sets are around. This one is for the F-16C block 40-52 and is quite complete.

The parts are very well molded as are all from Black Box. There are the usual large number of parts including the tub, instrument panels/coamings, side walls, HUD, bang seats, seat guides, seat actuators, canopy actuator, throttles and control sticks, rudder pedals, a rear deck bulkhead, and, of course, a large cockpit tub. There is also an inner canopy frame and canopy hooks. Instructions are superb and not only show the placement of all the bits, but offer color information as well.  As usual, you have to remove some bits and pieces from the kit cockpit area to get all of these parts to fit. Lots of test fitting is recommended to ensure proper fit. This is part of Black Box's Combat Series of resin sets. Not sure just what is different between these and the 'standard' Black Box sets other than the logo.
