The biannual Jet World Masters is taking place now in Meringen, Switzerland, and you can bet there are some amazing models in the air! One of them is Gerald Rutten’s F-16, featured in his video below. Gerald notes that he placed second in static judging with this jet at the 2011 event, and the model wasn’t even finished! His video gives a sneak peek inside his workshop as he continues work on his incredible F-16, which features the scheme of the Netherlands Royal Air Force F-16 “Orange” demonstration team.
