For the Italeri kit but you get the idea https://quinta-studio.com/en/product/617/

From what's in the box, bearing in mind that the plastic in both is identical and that some options will require strengthening plates the subject of which has been frankly flogged to death here you can build the following; F-16A Block 15 F-16A Block 20 Taiwan. F-16AM MLU. For an F-16ADF there are bulges tail parts but you would need to replace the IFF parts, the AIM-7 Sparrow pylons are included in the Kinetic F/A-18C. F-16C Block 25 F-16C Block 32 F-16C Block 42 F-16C Block 52 There are tail extension parts and fairing

More great pictures, thanks forsharing them.

Superb shots, thanks for sharing them.

CVW-14 on the USS Abraham Lincoln had the F-14D (VF-31) and F/A-18E (VFA-115) on deployment 2002-2003 including Operation Iraqi Freedom. IIRC when the USS Nimitz was enroute to the Persian Gulf, VFA-14 and VFA-41 forward deployed 2 x F/A-18E and 2 x F/A-18F to the Lincoln for use as additional tankers.

Exactly! Kinetic would have had to mould several sets of fuselage parts to allow for the various strengthening plates layouts depending on versions.

There are Two decal sheets coming from Reid Air Productions. One is a reissue of the 1/48 Combat Weasels sheet, the other is a new sheet covering all the various camouflage schemes. They're not available yet but will be soon.

I don't have enough superlatives for this. I'll just say Wow!

I'm pretty sure that hangers are necessary in Alaska during October. All USAF F-16 aggressors are combat capable.

Is that an AIM-9M I see mounted on 86-314?

Superb!

The ZM kit is but where is the Meng kit available from?

If wishing made it so.

Decal sheets coming from Speedhunter for the F-4G https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02MmW9i4pt6kGF1dQugG2x8GuwUMQDwNQSG5nriHw851xLHEgyf1jaTkK8srG5J8cel&id=100064040172052&__cft__[0]=AZVks9SDOSbrmq0ESWd1Yhc8piP99KFtEyQiveMvlYBiMkHylYD9iIojXPzVvcItOJ0njtGqn4Mumy0Ms8FXwEkXyd8OT_1rvK6a1dJzR3H-Omycvrz3V3t3ajAGSKLE3Bmx_RnopXtC_-vCIcAC-kckPBpCaNONvVVGQODm0yn_nM0pHuMtM7OyKCWwfkwTchA&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

On the helicopter front, how about decals for the S-70 Blackhawk? For example Turkey and Australia have camouflaged examples and decals are thin on the ground for them.

If we're talking Tornados then I vote for the early/mid Italian Air Force in grey/green . Marineflieger IDS in the three tone grey scheme too.

On the Eurofighter front, Qatar has just started to take delivery of their aircraft. They would be a nice option.

Not cheap but amazing quality http://reedoak.com/#!/1-48/c/14086007 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234637794738?hash=item36a1809db2:g:-oEAAOSwS0Ni4Oio&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoKdykkW%2F9GFjg6%2FCNBknmLgVzwNOteo8r2fbMcCdmdFzPTrOK3mQnakIW54aDxgZ0uwyNO28CIHC%2FcjYmKrUUqo6grDsmT6shrcySIJHVJHMLhvPQxfz27h%2B9FlfQPit0iQjwdrEmCcPR%2F14x98CumQvOtd%2Boms6hf5fC4N4ublroTYg2O217gWafQ8rRWMcWHDLxayxAeuOByCS8JF2AR4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5jFud7YYA
