     It seemed shady but I gambled and sent him $105 for a set.

    Haven't heard from him since.

     

    Ouch!!  I remember seeing that thread. I thought that one of the reputable guys( Flying Leathernecks??), said he was going to do something but it was probably going to be a year away.

    Virtually every unit that flew F-4Es had them at some point.  I can't think of one that didn't.  

     

    All F-4Es from serial number 71-0237 and higher had TISEO.  The only exceptions were the late block aircraft that went to Turkey, Greece, and South Korea.  They decided they didn't need TISEO, which is why the Ghost Gray F-4Es and the 5000th special didn't have it.  

    Not quite true, all Greek Peace Icarus I a/c 72-1508 to 72-1535 were delivered without TIESO, although the later Peace Icarus II a/c 77-1743 to 77-1765 were TISEO equipped with one exception 77-1743. 

     

    TIESO was removed from such equipped a/c as they went through the AUP program, however the Ghost scheme began being rolled out prior to the program and I’ve seen evidence of at least one TIESO equipped a/c in the Ghost scheme.

     

     

    HAF F-4E Lightning Pod Carriage Adapter

    For the purposes of modelling I would be surprised if anyone would notice if there were indeed any differences. I can’t remember how I installed mine without looking at it, but I think it was just a wedge in the bay. Important thing is that the LITENING pod doesn’t sit flush on the adapter there is a noticeable gap between the pod and adapter

    I will have to leave the bit of plastic south of that red line I drew on the picture?

     

    The cut line is below the Red line in your picture above, flush with the wing.

     

    I think the LAU-129’s you show are meant for the Kinetic kit, with the notch on top, but they’ll fit the Hasegawa kit you’ll just need to put an insert in there.

    1/48 F-16C kits, Tamiya or Hasegawa?

    The Tamiya kit is the go to kit for a F-16, however there isn’t much wrong with the Hasegawa either, it’s just not as good as the Tamiya.  Throw some AM at the Hasegawa kit and you’ll end up with a decent build. IMO if you’re planning on building two F-16’s, I’d build one of each.
