The surface detail is good (maybe a little overdone on the fuel tanks). It has the deepest intake of any 1/144 F-16 kit, going all the way back to the (nicely detailed) engine intake fan - something even most larger scale models don't do. Tires are molded separately from wheel hubs, making painting easier. The wheel wells are very well detailed. The nose cone is slide-molded, although it isn't really clear why. The wings are thicker than the Revel F-16 kit and don't have the twist, but that's correct for the F-2 aircraft.
The cockpit does not have a lot of detail and no decals for it are provided. There are no weapons besides two AAM-3 missiles. The thickness of some of the detail parts is overdone. Things like the fins on the missiles or the landing gear supports are not up to modern standards and could do with sanding or replacing. The exhaust is particularly thick, and should probably be hollowed out or replaced with a F-16 aftermarket part.
The instructions are super high quality, glossy color printed. You get decals for 3 F-2A, 2 F-2B, and a hypothetical JASDF "F-16J". There are no special schemes among them.
It's a nice kit, but the Revell is still far and away the leader in the F-16 category.
