siesta3 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I was already in the process of building a F-16CG.... I was debating about what markings to put the darn thing in and decided it will be Eielson's Wing King bird. AB's decals came in the mail today and got quickly put on. Now the question I need to ask is has anyone seen Eielson's jet with LITENING or SNIPER pods? I seen the pilots wearing the JMCS helmets but I have yet to see a jet other then LANTIRN. I've checked the DOD website and also F-16.net I have a Sniper pod ready to go on this bird. Otherwise it will be going on the Kunsan Aggressor camo'd Block 30 F-16D thats also in progress!

Aggressor Supporter Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Who is the kit manufacturer and what scale is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siesta3 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Who is the kit manufacturer and what scale is it? Thats a 1/48 HASAGAWA... need to thin out that stash even though I got some Tamiya's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siesta3 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hey that looks SWEET!I've never seen a 354th jet with anything but LANTIRN, but they do wear the JHMCS helmet and their jets are CCIP. Hey Scott.. again decals went on excellant...guess LANTIRN will have to do for this round - will have to save the SNIPER for something else - Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siesta3 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) My goal is to get this jet done before I leave for the week... will be waking up next week in Memphis as 200 FED EX jets take off in the morning.. Edited July 8, 2007 by siesta3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) I seen the pilots wearing the JMCS helmets but I have yet to see a jet other then LANTIRN. Targeting pods and JHMCS are two separate, independant systems. The presence of JHMCS helmet and its associated sensor only signify that that jet has undergone CCIP. Jets don't need CCIP to carry any specific targeting pod. Block 30 ANG Vipers carrying LANTIRN or Sniper, for example. Having said that, I've only seen the Alaskan jets with the LANTIRN. With their impending switch to an Aggressor role, I highly doubt you'll ever see anything else before the change is made. PACAF has always been a favorite of mine. I'm glad you're doing them justice.

siesta3 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well about 98% done - again still trying to master weathering... but overall it was a fun fast one to build... decided to use up one of the handful of LANTIRNs I have - but definately a SNIPER will be used in the next F-16.

siesta3 Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 That sniper would look great on that Kunsan jet Yeah the SNIPER does look good on a Kunsan jet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
