  1. That fin is easily fixable by following the instructions from KASL. Unfortunately any large piece of resin is susceptible to warpage there’s no way of really getting round it. After you warm it up, gently prise it into shape by applying light pressure then re warm it and continue applying pressure, just remember to warm it up each time you apply pressure, you’ll be surprised how malleable resin is when warm. As for the area at the rudder base, I would just fill it and sand square with the outer tail surfaces, the gap on the real a/c is not noticeable.
  2. Quite simply for visibility while conducting DACT manoeuvres. Colour I guess would be RAL2005.
  3. Thanks for the further information. Does sound that they’ve been up against it as of recent.
  4. Thanks for the heads up, although still no replies. What problems were they experiencing?
  5. Anyone aware of the current situation over at Syhart Decals? I made a purchase of a single decal sheet on the 3rd of September and paid via Paypal. I’ve never received any emails from Syhart confirming the order and I’ve sent 3 emails to two different listed email addresses to enquire, without reply. What gives🤷‍♂️
  6. Can’t vouch for this set, but I’ve used a few of the KASL sets for the M2K and rate them all very highly.
  7. Hi Arnold, I’m looking to purchase the Rafale update sets you do as in intakes, exhausts and F-3R update, but notice that “the48ers” are out of stock. Do you know when they will restock or can I order direct from you? Regards
  8. It looks no different to those found in Tamiya F-16 kits🤷‍♂️
  9. I think things have been tough for a lot of people all around the World, but working 105 hours a week🤯, I thought I had it bad doing 84 hours some weeks. Hats off to you and much respect.
  10. The above chart will answer all your munitions carriage questions 👍🏻
  11. Brake para packs were also found on F-16A/B MLU’s of the Netherlands and Norwegian Air Forces and subsequently Jordanian examples, although they were of different dimensions to those on the C/D.
  12. I will try and have a look tomorrow, another option would be to contact Raymond Chung at Luckymodel and purchase sprues C & F from any C/D kit and build up the entire Kinetic kit tail and use that. It might take a minor bit or work attaching it, but nothing major.
  13. Hi Dimi, I had a Cutting Edge F-16C tail, I say had as I’m not 100% sure if I still have it. I will need to look through the spare boxes , if I find it you can have it https://modelingmadness.com/scott/detailsets/ce/cec48483.htm
  14. The base of the tail differs substantially between the A/B and the C/D. The leading edge of the base on the A/B tail is shorter with a steeper angle compared to the longer and shallower angle on the C/D. The C/D also has an antenna on the leading edge along with some cooling vents on the side of the base. The C/D tail base is wider as well. If you Google for images of F-16A and F-16C tails, the differences are obvious.
  15. What’s your location in Greece? There’s another Greek modeller on here “iceman98”(Thanos), he’s based in Athens, he might be able to offer some help.
  16. The F-16A MLU tail isn't suitable for any C variant as the leading edge of the tail is a totally different size and shape. The AWC set, the Port side RWR on the para brake housing would need removing to represent a Hellenic a/c
  17. I’d also be interested in the large sponsons and radar nose in order to build a -47SD.
  18. Yes the AGM-78 was still around then(1984). There’s a photo on the internet that shows 3x 52FW F-4G/E’s all in Euro 1, armed with a mix of AGM-74, AGM-88 and AGM-45. Hopefully the link works https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Spangdahlem_Air_Base?file=F-4G_F-4Es_52TFW_1984.JPEG
  19. Mmmm, I used the Kinetic housing on my Tamiya F-16 and it fitted perfectly. I’ll see what I have in the spare box and get back to you👍🏻
  20. I’m sure AirDoc did them, but it was a few years ago. They came as a set of 3 or 4 different versions with different rwr on them. AirDoc it was, set 48009 http://acc.kitreview.com/f4airdoceviewdwa_2.htm
  21. The fitting of the nose wheel bay is definitely the issue here. The bay should fit inside the fuselage, not flush. The top of the bay needs to be thinned down for it to fit in between the intake ducting and the locating recess for the wheel bay. Once that fits, everything else will fit much more snuggly.
  22. The Saudi scheme is unusual for two reasons, firstly it’s two tone and secondly uses colours from two different colour standards. BS381C-626 overall with FS35237 disruptive areas on top. Sorry can’t help with decals part.
  23. See my edited post above Note that the two hard points on the FAST packs are in a different position from any on the 6 point CFTs.
