jagmate Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi F16 gurus! As a modeler of prop (we all know that prop is short for proper ) aircraft, I know very little about modern jets. Could someone please tell me which is the most accurate F16 (of any model/block) in 1/48th? I need one to fill a slot in what will eventually be 50 models to show thw development of the fighter from the Fokker EI to the F22. All help gratefully received!

Dave Williams Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you can wait until early next year, probably the Tamiya -CJ kit. If not, the Hasegawa -CJ kit is probably the best of the current offerings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skull Leader Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hard to argue with a Hase F-16 out of the box... everything I've seen and read indicates they build up great in 1/48. Everyone is anxious to see how well the new Tamiya kit will fit together, and the detail looks gorgeous. I own the academy and italeri kits... I'm building the academy now... it's a little short on detail, but the fit is great with recessed panel lining. The new Italeri F-16A/ADF NATO kit is very nicely detailed (moreso than the Academy)... I haven't checked the fit yet though. Really so long as you aren't doing a super-modern F-16D, anything else is pretty easy to do. Hasegawa makes the only proper F-16D kits out there, and even after being re-issued they aren't all that common. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
