Thanks, the Kinetic kit was on sale, and comes with some nice decals for reserve jets. I was just going to try to use decals I already had for TJ jets I worked. I was also at Hahn which did have Block 25s, but the only decals for those I've seen are inaccurate. But the 80s are getting a little hazy in spots... I ordered a Fab intake and we'll see how it fits.

Hi All, Got a gift card for Squadron and picked up the Block 25/42 F-16C. I have some decals for a Torrejon C model, but its a block 30D with the big mouth intake. I searched for some resin intakes but they seem to all be in China. Is there a good resin option?

OK, I just thought this was cool. https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/afj/ap08fj/pdf/sa503-flightmanual.pdf

The Academy 1/72 kit includes extra propellers and early horizontal stabs IIRC

We generally loaded them on the centerline station 5. Unless the centerline was needed for a fuel tank, then they were loaded on station 3 or 5 (wings) such as for a transocean flight. But that would take a wing pylon away from munitions load out, so we never flew them operationally on the wing stations.

I seem to recall some of the block 5s having no JFS doors in the early 80s. I don't know if that was all of them.

That camo paint job looks AWESOME. Is that freehand or masked? -

Very cool. I've been wanting to do a large scale GT-40 since seeing Ford vs Ferrari! Has anyone else noticed vintage car models are going for crazy prices! I just scored the same Monogram F-101 kit on the auction site. So I'll have a nice shelf full of century jets eventually haha- 137 replies

Hasegawa 1/48 F-16 - how was it received when it was first released?
Planegeek replied to Kurt H.'s topic in Jet Modeling
Air Force runways do have arresting systems at both ends, for hydraulic/brake failures. The arresting hook is also a good way to hold the aircraft down on the pad for maintenance runs in afterburner. Cool on nightshift!
