This is where the build is at the moment
with the main decaling finished my attention has now turned to the loadout/stores namely the GBU's/Mavericks and Litening pod, so while they are taking shape a few pics to show the amount of decals on this, still another 80+ to go on the pylons/and stores.
Once the pylons have been decaled up I will then seal them all in with a coat of Klear before applying the washes and weathering effects.

The decals have been sealed in with a coat of Klear and has cured for 72 hours, so will start panel washing tonight.
All the sub assemblies have been finished up to final build stage as well(except for one lot of wing stores) so should have this one finished this week.
Doors, flaps and slats
GBU12's and Litening Pod and Maverick launcher

But i want to mention that HAF dont use TER with the GBU-12 and they load only one in each pilon and also they dont have training laser bombs in blue color as i know
cheers Nick ::icon_thumright::

What colour are the Inert GBU12's and how are they connected onto the pylons when in single fit, is it just straight onto the pylon or some adaptor?

They connected just straight and also the back fins of the AGM-65 you must cut them if you do a captive one...the color of the GBU must be the green but i don't remember if has a blue stripe or something like this...

Having scrolled through the web for any pictures that may help me with the armament I have came across this photo

Yes it is a F16 and the GBU12 is a Pave Way I version but along with the GBU24 in the background it clearly shows that the Hellenic AF do use Blue Inert weapons. I believe you on the TER/GBU12 combo but since I have came this far with the idea I'm going to stick with it.
Thanks for the info on the AGM65 I didn't know that the rear fins are removed from inert rounds ::icon_thumright::
