    1/48 Revell B-1B Lancer, 86-0130 "Dead Reckoning"

    Looks like a fun project. I have one in the stash I hope to build one day too..... It looks like you are going to go all out on the updates, so I thought I might suggest one more set (insert shameless plug here :) I make some resin wheels that correct the kit parts if you are interested Resin Wheels. Good luck!

    Cheers,

    -Doug :)

    I think it is an honour that you visit my thread! Did not know about the tires, I will order them next week, Sir!!

    Thanx alot! I hope the main kit will arrive tomorrow, cant wait to crack open the box and look at the content......

    1/48 Kinetic vs Hasegawa F16's

    Because the Tamiya kits cost a small fortune in comparison to the Kinetic kit and some modellers have to work to a budget? I certainly can't afford to buy Tamiya kits every time I want to build an F-16 and the Kinetic kit is a perfectly acceptable alternative in my eyes.

    Seriously, the most basic Tamiya F-16 is £10 more expensive than the Kinetic kit, but that's a Block 50, not a Block 52. To get a 52 you need to buy the Aggressor boxing or buy the Block 50 and the Block 32 and then swap the intakes to make a 52 and a 30. Both of those options will cost double the price of one Kinetic kit, if not more, and as has already been said would allow you to build a USAF jet but not necessarily a non-US jet.

    I could not agree more! Here in Norway some buy the Tamiya block 25-30 and converts it to a Norwegian AM, fine if one wants the hassle fixing the back and the tail to make it an AM...but I say, you get a lot less hassle by just building the Kinetic!!

    Well well....I will not start building this girl untill my two Israeli's are finished...but the planning and shopping is ON! I got so excited that I had to start a thread about it....

    I recently bought a Minicraft 1/144 BONE..it is the A version but still...I really like the lines on this plane..it is just beautiful....

    So, with some money secured, I bought the big one....It is still on the way to me, but some of the after market stuff has arrived!

    You cannot do anything but LOVE the Two-Bobs decals.....

    And also the AN/ALE-50 Towed decoy

    I have had the privilege to build 6 Kinetic f-16's the last year. And I do like the kit a lot. In the first kit I struggled with a few issues, but now It is all good. When I put the Kinetic Viper next to the Hase, I get a feeling that the Kinetic kit does look better. It looks somewhat more "agreesiv". I cannot explain why.

    So far the Aires stuff I have bought that fits a Tamiya, fits the Kinetic with minor tweeks!
