Hi all I know I'm posting a bit on F16s. However it's the fast jet I know least about due to the many versions and small details which differ on version to version. I'm planning to convert a 1/32 Tamiya F16CJ to a F16N. So my plan is as follows Purchase the 1/32 GT resin small mouth intake for it Purchase the 1/32 avionix F16 block 30/32 cockpit wet Ommit the two small parts on the tail which create a small air intake Eliminate the gun and gun port on the F16 Put the landing lights on the main gear struts Buy the 1/32 SAC metal la

Also some pics of different aggressors in it

Sorry about that. The sold reply didn't appear when I opened the thread.

Hi there Have you still got the NSI intake for sale? I live in France but can have you post it to a friend in Oregon who will forward it on to me. PM me if you still have it Cheers

ok. Will do

Scott I'm also desperately needing a 1/32 Academy F16 clear two seater canopy. I have a vacuform canopy in the isracast sufa conversion set but I personally do t like vacuform canopies. Do you prefer them? If you do, I'd also be interested in swapping the canopy for an academy one or buying one from you. I also have about 4 clear Tamiya F16 single seat canopies I'd swap

Ok no worries. I would also be interested in buying your baby JDAMS. Do you want to sell any?

Thanks Dave. I'll check it out

Scott you mentioned using a sniper pod on one of your F16 builds. Do you have a sniper pod? If you dont, I have a brand new one from wolfpack with the clear parts and decals. If you dont have a sniper pod, would you be interested in swapping my sniper pod for two of your baby JDAMS?

Yes that's the guy but I dont see any parts for the F15C Tamiya, I'll send him an email Thanks for the link

QThen why is the Academy F16D nearly twice the price? Weird. I bought a 1/32 Tamiya F16C thunderbirds kit to make the Sufa. I got the isracast sufa conversion set, Aires F16 block 50 cockpit set, Aires wheel bays, isracast python 3s,, isracast spice bombs, isracast big fuel tanks, isracast Delilah 2 missiles, isracast sufa decals for all squadrons and the heavyweight landing gear from the Tamiya F16cJ block 50. I just think the Tamiya kit is superior to the academy one so that's why I want to make a sufa using the tamiya kit. Not sure what load out I'll put on the suf

Yes and the sufa comes with a price tag half that of the academy F16D kit. I think the D kit is over 200 euros here. The sufa you can pick for about 100 euros. Cool thing about the sufa kit is it comes with baby JDAMS and all the weapons in the Sufa kit are nice too and can use on other projects. The academy Hornets also came with nice weapon sprues. Academy makes the best weapons I think outside resin ones. I think its the only 1/32 kit that comes with baby JDAMS.

I'm looking for a 1/32 trumpeter F-14A tomcat. Reason I'm asking on a forum is I don't need the kit to have weapons, seats, cockpit or engine nozzles or decqals. So if anyone out there has a F14A as just the basic kit, I'd be interested in buying it. I'm based in France. If anyone has to one to sell, let me know. Cheers

Can anyone recommend a good book that covers all versions of the F-16 and differences between all versions and blocks? I need a really good general book on the F-16.

Hi all Well now I have the F-16 aggressor bug thanks to you guys!!!! I now am planning my next project - 1/32 F16N aggressor. So have some questions again for all you viper experts Firstly, does theF16N have a small mouth intake? Secondly, what external differences are there between the F16CJ and the F16N (as I want to use the 1/32 Tamiya F16CJ for thé project). It's a far better kit than the academy kit in my opinion. Thirdly, any other relevent info anyone can offer would be most appreciated. Once again, hope you can all help and

Mate any chance you can send me an invoice for the decals on PayPal? Cheers

Hi Gary The F18B parts arrived today. Thanks so much for that. Most appreciated. If you are ever looking for something, give me yell and I'll do my best to return the favour Cheers

Hi all I'm wanting the Two Bobs 1/32 F16N old school adversaries decals. If anyone has a set to sell, please PM me. I also have a lot of different aggressor decals for F16, F18, F14, ect and a lot of aftermarket of which a lot is OOP. Someone might be looking for something so I'm also prepared to do a swap. Let me know if anyone is interested. Cheers

Yes I have the Isradecal book F16I Sufa in IAF service and the isradecal book F-15I Ra'am in IAF service. I also have a 1/32 Tamiya F-15E with the isracast conversion set, decals and all the aftermarket ect ect as I also love the F-15I Ra'am. I have a pretty good library but just never really been a F-16 fan except for the Sufa. I'm more into Russian aircraft and mud movers such as Su25, A10, F18, G-14, tornado etc which I all have in the stash including Mig21, mig29, mig23 ect. So my library as I said is quite extensive but on everything really except the F16.

I still think the sexiest F16 has got to be the Sufa. It just looks great, great camp scheme, extreme lethality in a strike fighter and just rocks. So I can't wait to build NY sufa either. So I just bought the sufa wheel bays, cockpit set, metal static dischargers, AN/ALQ 188 pod and now just ordered 4 resin ACMI pods from Harold as will do a couple of other aggressors -F15C, F18B (tip gun I. Splinter camo) F18B and I think a top gun F14A in splinter camo too. Aggressors are great as just love the variations of camo schemes

Thanks again Niels. Photos will be invaluable. I'm just going g to have to be very careful cutting up the Aires cockpit set to joint it to the kit rear tub. Then my next challenge will be getting the kit rear tub to the standard of the front resin one as obviously the kit rear tub is pretty basic. I think I'll try and use the left and right consoles from the thunderbirds kit as they at least are fairly detailed. Then of course maybe an Eduard F16 placards set and add an oxygen hose ect. But I think with a bit of work and effort, the rear tub will come up just as well. I also have the 1/

So guys just recap what I need to change externally to make the F16D 1/ ommit parts C24 and C25 air intakes from tail fin 2/ sand off bulges on main landing gear doors as using lightweight landing gear 3/ put landing lights on main landing gear struts 4/ only have 2 (max 4) dispensers 5/ use the MCID intake for late version F16D or the small mouth for early version So is that all the correct changes? If I just follow the instructions and copy the Tamiya Thunderbird externally (except the tail air intake parts), I should have an externally correct F

Guys just drifting off topic for a second. I also want to make a 1/32 F15C aggressor using afterburner decals #AFD48081 (decals are in 1/32 scale but also come with 1/48 scale version) Not sure which scheme yet from desert flanker, blue flanker or digital flanker aggressor schemes). My quick question was would a 1/32 aires late version cockpit set be ok on its own or should I also use the 1/32 wolfpack #WP32025 MSIP update set which has the updated IPs ect. I'm assuming the updated IPs etc came into service in the cockpits of the F15Cs prior to 2012? Anyone let me kn

My only challenge left is I bought the aires 1/32 F16C cockpit set for the academy kit and now I'll have to careful joint the front pit to the rear pit that comes in the kit. The rear pit is obviously not as detailed as the aires resin front pit as it the rear pit is from the kit. So I'll have to spruce it up a bit to match the front pit detail. I thought about using Eduard sets but Eduard only make an Eduard cockpit for the academy sufa which is obviously a block 52 and the instrument layout would be completely different to a F16D. So I'll have to cut off the rear pit from the kit tub and

Yes I think all set. I haven't built an academy F16 before but s few Tamiya ones. I think the tamiya kit is the better kit but the academy kit should come up all right. I'll pit an ACMI on the right wing tip and an AN/ALQ 188 jamming pod on her belly and she should come up alright
