Sorry to bring this thread up from the dead, but is there any way to find a pdf of the instructions for this decal sheet? I finally found the sheet second hand after years of seasrching, but there are no instructions with it, and I couldn't find one online so far. Thanks in advance Deniz

No, unfortunately, they are almost the same kit contents-wise except that sprue and ~6 parts. Deniz

Hello, I wanted to check if there is a feasible way to build an F-16I from the Hasegawa F-16F kit (which in my defense, I bought very cheap)? From what I can see in a comparison of the instruction sheets and sprue pictures, the main difference between the two kits seem to be the sprue YC in the F-16I vs. YD in the F-16F. Assuming the spine bits (YC8/9 vs. YD3/4) are easy to modify between 2 flare/chaff pods vs. 1, is there any way to find a source for the other front RWR sensors (YC3/4, 6/7 and I think the data pod in the back, YC5)? Does Hasegawa sell individual sprues or are there after

Thanks a lot for the details on the FAC loads, i was just not sure about the warheads on Dave’s LAU-10s, they looked too modern for OA-4Ms, and i didn’t want to use the empty ones. No question on the quality of his stuff, i might have bought most of his 48th scale decals and detail sets. Deniz

Hello all, I was planning to build the Monogram OA-4M, but wanted to check on the weapons load for a realistic FastFAC mission. I found quite a bit of photos with different combinations with practice Mk.82s in different TER or MERs and LAU-10s and CBUs. Would FastFACs actually carry bombs or just LAU-10s (or any other combination)? And as far as LAU-10s go, would Flying Leatherneck's LAU-10 work or should I get another one (like the Hasegawa Weapon Set B)? And what would be the combination for the warhead/fuzes and colors, assuming they would be smoke or WP? As for the chaff/flare dispens

Dave, Not sure if you will be able to see this, but I just tried to order from your site (11/11/24 1pm pst) and the cart is not applying the 24.9% discount automatically. Hope you can get it taken care of before tonight... Deniz

Kursad, just got the box from USPS. Everything looks great. you could probably use smaller boxes for less rattling around during shipping though. Also, would you be providing any instructions (online or printed)? Most of the stuff is self-explanatory but a little bit of placement and painting guides or more reference photos would be nice. Deniz

Kursad, Did you ever complete your instructions/research on the Turkish F-16Ds? Neither page (https://www.caracalmodels.com/references/cd48006/) or (https://www.caracalmodels.com/references/cd48007) has the F-16D details, even though they mention it is coming up in 2016. Also, a full conversion set for Hasegawa's regular F-16Ds would be nice, as I am sure a lot of people have them in their stash (guilty!) vs. the new F-16D Block 52 kits or their IDF ones are almost impossible to find. Deniz

Cool! Thanks again and can’t wait for the release… Deniz

Kursad, Just wanted to check if the set will include the AN/ALQ-211 sensor under the intake like this Turkish one (or does "F-16 inlet ECM antennas" mean that?)? It is tough to see in the 3D prints. I see you already have the ALQ-211 sensors in the tail/drag chute part along with pretty much every extra bit you'd need on top of the Tamiya Block 50 (kit 61098) seen on the picture. Am I missing anything? Thanks Deniz or this one for better shape:

Wouldn't blame anyone 😉 Deniz

I am looking for a PC 1000 armor-piercing bomb to put on a 1/48 StG2 Ju87B/R-2, which I believe was the type used during the Kronstadt raids on Marat and other battleships. I have a strong feeling I saw a couple included in some other 1/48 kit (Ju-88s or He-111s), but I am being too lazy to go through the kits I have or scalemates, so any suggestion is highly appreciated. I think KMC made one a long time ago, and I am trying to avoid having to find one on eBay, and the Italeri set has a PC 1400. Also, were there any modifications that had to be done on the Ju-87s to carry or drop the 1000 kg (

Thanks a lot for the quick response, @Dave Roof! I hate to create too much churn for you, but I can't miss your sales 😄

@Dave Roof, I didn't want to hijack one of your threads (and also thought others would be interested), but I noticed you updated the Leatherneck Lightnings' page to mention the Tamiya kit. I also remember reading you'd update the sheet to fit Tamiya's kit, did the update happen or you think these will fit the Tamiya kit? I saw your 24% sale and was thinking about picking up that sheet, but didn't know if I should wait for the update or not. Also, is there a timeline update on the second Lightning sheet? Deniz

I couldn't find a definite answer on the weapon load combinations for J35F2 and J35Js that you can build out of the Hasegawa 1/48 kit here (https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/1/3/112113-92-instructions.pdf) - not that the kit comes with any weapons. I don't want to do anything too fancy (and get new decals for other versions etc.) and just use the pylons in the Hasegawa kits (M3: under the wing and N2: under the engine inlet - see diagram below). With that, I was wondering if the following options are accurate: For the F2: - The wing pylon, M3, is the only option for an F2 and
