Thanks. 🙂

@Raymond Chung, I sent email to info@kineticmodel.com few days ago and still don’t have any response. Should I wait more?

Thanks a lot Raymond.

Guys, is it still possible to ask for replacement parts to @Raymond Chung, or should I send request to info@kineticmodel.com ?

AIM-260 will have weight similar to AIM-120 I believe, about 150 kg. AIM-174B would be about 1 tone. I really don't know why they are going to use such heavy missile.

So what about AIM-260?

CBU-105?

That is right, I think I will use the following loadout: (1) F-16 GROUND ATTACK WEAPONS | F-16 Fighter Loaded With JDAM's and CBU-105 Cluster Bombs at Nellis AFB - YouTube

Please find it. 🙂

Probably, but I still don't know what kind of bombs and other A2G ordnance could be use by the Block 40/42. Now and during Southern Watch. As far as I know Block 42 couldn't use JDAM weapons, AGM-88 as well. Additionally Operation Southern Watch lasted between 1992-2003, so we have long enought period for very different ordnance introduced for USAF in those years. I am going to make very "theoretical" loadout, but still would like to use ordnance apropriate for that timeframe and mostly, for that specific Block.

ResKit has just released two versions of centerline fuel tanks. Anybody knows what are those versions for? Is it for certain timeframe or for production blocks of F-16? When or where should I use type 1 and 2? I see the external differences, but why those tanks are different at all? Anybody can explain?

Tkanks guys. Frankly said I would like to use „airshow load”, but with live, not inert ordnance. The biggest problem is I don’t know what weapon is authorized for Block 40/42, especially A2G. Second option for me is to use real weapons used during operation Souther Watch, where that F-16 served, it could be nice to use something from that time and place

I am going to build F-16D Block 42 90-0778 "MiG Killer". That is a famous F-16 with one MiG-25 kill. I am going to make it in desert camouflage and I am thinking about possible and realistic loadout. Regarding A2A weapon I know I can use AIM-9M and AIM-120C, but what about A2G weapon? All Block 40/42 Vipers can carry all laser guided bombs and dumb bombs as well. Is anything more possbile? Please advice me about that.

Model of Polish Air Forces F-16C with special anniversary Raven camouflage. Very nice and easy to build kit, but I can't say the same about painting scheme. It was really hard work to make it looking good. I have used Tamiya Aggressor kit, AWC-Model set for Polish Air Forces, Eduard ejection seat, Sniper and all weapons, ResKit exhaust Nozzle and TER, Master AOA sensors, Pitot tube and static dischargers, Model Maker decals and masks, Wheeliant wheels. And a lot and lot of my own scratchwork ,especially inside the wheel bays, cockpit and on landing gears. Enjoy.

2 words: no rivets. In 2024...

Great, but I have Academy kit and not going to have GWH one. So my question is still valid.

I am asking about those Aires, DEF and MCC because I can buy it directly from the store. I do not trust the quality of PHR or SHR, never had it it my hands, so I would like to choos something from those first three.

As above, what set should I choose? I know three ones: Aires, DEF and Mini Craft Collection. All looks very nice, but which one is the best? I see there are three different shapes of fan blades, but which one is proper? Are there any other issues in those sets?

Nothing. But if the have got box cover, there will be launch of the product rather soon. 2-3 months?

Thanks a lot. I see that bay is quite different from the G variant. But maybe not, I see many empty spaces here, maybe missing modules, I don't know.

I am going to make my new model of Kinetic F-104C with opened avionics bay. The problem is that kit's parts are a little bit to simplified, so I would like to use Anyz resins. But those ones are for G variant of aircraft. My question: may I use it for C?Are there any significant differencies between C and G avionics? I can not find any picture of this bay for C.

It were Mr Paint and Gunze paints mostly. It can be said I did. There were a lot of painting techniques used there.

Just finished. Really nice kit from Italerii (Academy), upgraded with Aires cockpit and wheel bays, Eduard PEs, ResKit bombs and wheels plus Master's pitot. Hope ypu like it.

I made it using blue tack mostly.
