[strikeeagle48]

I would like to make an up to date F-16 A Belgian AF,what aftermarket do I need to make it?

I have a 1/48 Hasegawa F-16 A boxing.

Thanks in advance.

It depends on what you want to make - a straight A or an updated MLU bird.

In the first case, you'll need the extended ECM tail island. I believe Plastic World Modeling makes it in 1/48th. Also, you'll need the Carpace ECM antennae on the sides of and under the intake.

For a MLU, in addition you'll need the IFF chicken slicers in front of the canopy and remove the main landing gear lights and add the lights on the front landing gear door.

Most Belgian F-16s also have the scab plates - check your references.

HTH,

Hello, the F-16A after the MLU updates looks like a C version so you can buy this for make your F-16 http://www.cmkkits.com/en/detail-sets-accessories/f-16c-d/ but remember, before find appropriate documentation about the MLU Belgian F-16A.

Which boxing of the Hasegawa kit do you have? Some of them include the extended parabrake tail (usually tree S) but none of them include the MLU mods.

Hi

Great minds .. I am putting together some bits and bobs for my AM and this is what I have so far:

Orion stiffener plates for in front of the tail

PWMP Belgian F-16 fuselage mod set which provides the Belgian ECM para tail and Carapce ECM fittings

Wolfpack ADF conv

I will probably do a plain Jane version...

HI

Picked mine up years ago from an on line vendor but cannot remember who. Here is a link with their product listing.

I don't know the specifics of this set, but on the real thing there's quite a difference between the IFF antennae configuration of the ADF and MLu. Helpful pics at Habu2's site:
