Hi people, i know that the italeri f16c barak block 40 is the kinetic kit reboxed, but can anyone tell me if the italeri f16dg kit is also the kinetic one reboxed. Also is the cockpit of an f16f block 60 different to that of the everyday f16d? and what changes would be needed to use a resin sufa cockpit in a kinetic desert falcon? or are the sufa and desert falcon offices the same? Thanks Deano.

Hi this is the first time i've posted for a while and it's all changed, how do you get to my assistant , my last posts. Anyway i want to know if the f16am block 15 nato viper has reinforcment plates on fuselage because kinetic dont mention this in the kit, but you do get them in the kinetic f16a mlu tiger meet kit 2009, if the nato version has the plates, which ones and would the tamiya plate set work. So do all f16am's have reinforcement plates. And am i right in thinking that the f16am block 20 isn't a f16mlu but a totally new jet made arround the same time has the midlife updates. thanks.

HI thanks but no looks like i'll have to do alot more research and measureing. to make an accurate f 16xl.

Hi the rear fuselage plug on the f16xl raises up 3% does this also raise the exhust nozzle and rear fin so that they arn't level, or is the nozzle and fin cut at a certain angle to compomsate for the lift making it all lok level when veiwed from the side. I hope you understand what i'm trying to say. I've got the 72 scale monagram f16xl and was thinking of raising the third plug, any advice would be most welcome. ov i'm going to put an aries f16 a cockpit and pratt & whtny nozzle on so i want to do it the best i can.

Hi thanks for all your help, Tornado the fuji camera you suggest looks good but as i can see isn't it only x3 digital zoom, and as you said optical zoom is better than digital, its a shame because the review looks good. I want to be able to show, in detail the work i do in the cockpits and wheel bays of my models.

Hi i'm looking to buy a camera so i can take detail shots of my models and post on here i don't know alot about them, but i'm wanting to spend no more than £70. Ive found one in argos with, x5 optical zoom, digital antiblur, 12 megapixals and lillum battery or whatever it's called and that's £69.99. I had a look at the argos guide to cameras and come to the conclusion that i should be looking for one with optical zoom instead of digital zoom, the higher the mega pixals the better and one that doesn't take AA/AAA battery's as they eat loads of power and would go through loads, and the lill a

Hi i've tried the new formula to klear and it's no way near as good for canopy dipping and it doesn't give as much shine as the old stuff. Is thier an alternative to johnsons klear that can be applied by brush for glossing and weathering protection for enamel paint, or does anyone know where i can get a bottle of the old formula from? :) thanks deano.

Hi thanks for the advice, i was wanting to reproduce the coloured seals arround canopy's. On a canopy you have the frame colour, then still on the out side of the canopy you have a thin black or white strip between the glazing and the frame. it's this wich i find hard to mask and paint. I think it's some kind of seal, i hope this has cleared it up a bit more. I thought you might of been able to buy sheets of white and black decal wich i could of just cut into thin strips and used as needed. about A4 size.

Hi i'm wanting to use white and black decal strips to make the canopy frame seals on my models, but i can't find anywhere in the uk that sell coloured decal paper. Can i use normal white decal paper, if i just cut it into stips, if so how can i get the black stips. thank you.

Hi thanks for that i didn't know the difference was not just the nose, i don't think it would really be possibe to fix all that on a model, i'm going to get the hasgawa Yf 16 ccv, one and just do the lights and easy mods i think.

HI thanks for all your advice, i've just seen a picture of the YF 16 and the landing lights weren't on the main gear legs like on the F 16 A/B's and the early C/D variants, but it had two round landing/taxi lights, one on each of the main gear door not on the legs themselves. Do you think this might of been an exception or the normal, i can't seem to find any good pic of the YF undercarrige.

Hi it's kia here is the undercarrige front wheel door different on the YF 16 prototypes as on all other F 16's, it looks like there are two doors, one either side of the nose wheel bay. and where are the lading/taxi lights located. and wich have canards.

HI i never got a reply but my tamiya f 16C/N instructions say that the f 16N has the GE exhaust but the small intake, is this wrong, i thought all f16's with GE exhaust have wide mouth itakes.

Hi i bought the f 16c/n aggressor and have made the f 16 block 30 with the black and white cow camo scheme. i still have the markings for the f 16 Block 32 aggressor scheme the green, green, brown 3 tone camo the comander one. The painting and marking guide on the tamiya instructions say's that this scheme is for the block 32, could i put these markings on a f 16 block 30, or does a certain part of the markings specificly designate it to a block 32, like a certain code or number. and of course does the light green , dark green over brown camo even appear on a block 30. You see i have all the p

HI i'm building the attic F 16xl conversion and i want a resin seamless intake, where will i get one does anyone know? I know that cutting edge and the meteor production company use to make a white resin seamless intake, one for the small mouth and one for the big mouth intake but i think these have gone out of buisiness, is their another company that make them. ps sorry for my spelling.

I really hope they do smoething for the f 16 afti too. is thier a kit of one out their.

Thanks for all youe advice and the link to your build when done. The kangam/revel 32 kit is totally wrong it doesn't have the tilt of the reaf fuselage, and is only the same lengh as a normal f 16a so this also means the wings are also the wrong shape and size. It would be to much work to correct all this but who know's anything about the 72 scale monagram kit whats it like in reguards to shape? Thanks again. Jennings i would also pay my full college fee for a F 16xle/f correct conversion or even one of a good kit. COME ON HASEGAWA/ TAMIYA pull it together.

Hi its kia here your f 16xlf looks cool is that the ATTIc set, i didn't know you got the nose cone and how come you've used the kit rear part of the fuselage. yours looks like it all fits really well and i hope mine looks half as good as yours. i've also got the kangam 32 scale xle but it's the totally wrong shape as well as a couple of 1/44 kits. have you got any finnished pic of your xlf, or and any advice on building a f 16xl. Thank you sorry for spelling i'm off back to college now, on my dinner break.

Hi i'm trying to build an accurate f 16xle from the attic conversion set, but i dont quite understand what is ment by a seamless intake, what does this exactly mean, i know the xle use's the small mouth intake with the pratt and whtny exhaust. Could i use the small mouth intake from the donor kit wich is the tamiya f16 or is it totally different somehow.

Hi it's kia here i'm just getting into F16's and i thaught that F16a's and B's had light weight landing gear with lights on the main legs, but your saying that the F16bm's have light weight landing gear with the double square lights on the front gear doors. Just when you think you've got F16's and all the variants down to a T something else makes my head hurt. Nice pic's and model so far looking forward to seeing more. Kia from uk.

<_< Hi people i've had a closer look at the kangram F16xl and it's not just the length of the body thats wrong but the canopy looks to big to me, really all the front end looks to bulky and the wrong shape so i'm not going to spend money on aftermarket sets i'll build it from the box, as a what if. I am thinking about the new F16xl ATTIK conversion set for the tamiya F16n though, what you think. Thanks for all your thaughts and sorry for my spelling again. Deano.

Hi people it's deano again and i managed to buy the Kangram/revel 32 scale F 16xl,E of e bay and i'm a bit confused about some things please help. The first thing is what intake and exhaust do the single seaters have because i've seen pic of them with both, the G.E exhaust and wide intake, and the pratt and wtny exhaust and the small mouth intake. The second thing is wich type of undercarrige do they use, is it the early type light weight one with the lights on the main gear legs and the thin wheels and none bulged gear doors. And finally i've heard so much about seamless intake on F 16xl's wh

Hi, it's deano here i'm wanting to build the F 16xl, with the longer fuselage but i can't find any scale drawings of the F 16 xl. I need drawings that show top bottom and side view as well as the pannel lines can any one help. Thank you.

:D Hi it's deano here from the uk and i've been trying really hard to find a F 16xl model in any scale, i think monagram did one I'm not quite sure. I've looked on the net and found a company called ATTICK conversions that do a F 16xl conversion for the hasegawa F16, but this got bad reviews. ATTICK have released a new F 16xl conversion for the tamiya F 16c block 32/52 in 48 and 32 scale and the upper wings are in one piece resin so it looks like it will be a lot better fit. The problem is that i can't find any of these available here in the uk, can anyone help me obtain any kit or any conve

Hi its deano here i've just seen a pic of an f16 cg block 50 with the landing lights not on the nose gear door or not on the main gear legs like the early f16's but double square lights on the front of the main gear doors. what f16's have these kind of lights. I've just finnished my venuzuela f16 in 72 scale and i'll be posting a pic of it up at the weekend it will be the first pic of one of my models i've posted so all comments wellcome. Or and can the early f16 b's carry pods on thier intakes or is it just the blok 15's because i don't know weather to add one, thanks.
