  1. To be honest, mine seems to be ok.

    What I don’t like is the fact that the rear cockpit is clearly a direct copy of the front. Not really good enough for my liking.

    I have dry fit the parts and so far so good.

  2. Resin shrinks.

    Then what would be the point of selling it as an aftermarket product if this was not taken into consideration? That would be business suicide.

    If they know the shrinkage rate then they should take it into account and make the item larger by that percentage. Eduard Brassin does this but admittedly Aires does not seem to as much.

  3. I have the set as well. The front and rear cockpits are direct copies from Tamiya. Not good enough in my opinion. Not for the price paid at Telford anyway.

    I haven’t yet tried to line it up to the Tamiya kit but I will be tomorrow.

    I will report back then.

  4. Thank you. I felt sure it was a Block 40 as I couldn’t see any oval panels on the rear by the exhaust which normally gives it away for me.

    The Turkish Block 40’s don’t all have reinforcement plates on the outside either.

    Still need to know for sure if they had the GPS receiver or not though.

  5. The GPS antenna I mean is directly behind the canopy between the TACAN and rearward looking light. right where the white hoist marking is in your photo.

  6. Hi,

    I was looking for some help regarding the Turkish F-16 Block 40. Does it have the large circular GPS dome on the rear behind the canopy?

    I have looked through Google and I can’t see any photos close enough to see for myself.

    Thanks in advance.

  7. Yes they are very good indeed.

    Usually ship out on the day of your order.

    They keep stock in a huge warehouse so he has his hands on everything at all times.

    The owner, Eric, is a really nice guy and is always happy to help out.

    They do free gifts and free shipping on selected items. Good service and good prices, what more can you ask?

    SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE!

  8. He is one of my modelling mates and I have know him for a number of years now.

    The short answer is No.

    He is too busy teaching and with his two children. As a single dad he has very little time for resin.

    He does, however, do a short run from time to time. I will tell him you’re interested but don’t hold your breath.

    Sorry.
