Just got done building the 1:32 scale Tamiya F-16CJ, and it was an amazing experience. It can be built straight out of the box with no help from any PE or resin upgrades. I wanted to build mine with a few new toys added to it since the Tamiya model was released, so I scratch-built a BLOS antenna and JHMCS MTU. Added a LH mount resin HTS pod and a RH mount Sniper ATP, along with AIM-9X missiles and some 50 Year anniversary Wild Weasel decals. But everything else was straight out of the box.
Here's a build thread I posted on it to show how detailed and complex the Tamiya 1:32 jets are. Have the F-15E too which is still in an early stage of construction.
