Anothert question fo what to pay on evilBay

[sv51macross]

Alright, I found this on ebay and really want to snap it up as it doesn't come around very often. I believe that, with shipping I will end up paying around $40 for it, and given the ordinance included (based on the Acad blk-25/32) and the extra resin included it seems like a decent price, but I'm wondering if this is too high? I can get an equivalent kit minus the resin for $20, but I'm thinking this would be a good OOB build to regain my sanity after my F-14E whiff and before illithid00's WhIf GB. Just wondering on some advice. Thanks.

Wolfpack have a conversion for the Hasegawa F-16 to a Block20

And if it wasn't $43 USD I would.

It's just the same-ole Academy kit reboxed with a few extras and decals. If cost is your thing, grab it as it will be cheaper than a comparable Hase kit with aftermarket conversion.

If accuracy is your thing, get the Hase kit with aftermarket resin.

Or, you could just go with the one true scale, 1/72.

Thanks for the advice. Truth be told that conversion looks awesome as heck and I alreaady have alot of weapons on the way (kinetic f-16). And about that one, true scale? Sorry, but I have to be half/half with 1:48 and 1:72.

The Academy kit has the same anhedral problem the Kinetic kit has, they just happend to do theirs first.

It's ordnance not ordinance!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds that frustrating.

I did, and you'd better go back and read what I wrote.

A full review will be forth coming.

If you're looking for a KF-16, I believe Hasegawa is coming out with a boxing soon.

While the prospect of another MCDI to throw in the spares box is appealing, I actually think i may go with that wolfpack conversion. I need a 'gawa radome for the Kinetic F-16AM I've got coming in the mail anyway. Plus I think Hasegawa would be hard pressed to make a decal sheet as kuhl oder qualitat as the Cartograf one Wolfpack includes. I knwo it does include the decals, but is $43 really a suitable price? It comes with no more resin, maybe less in fact, than the F-16CG update set, do the decals make up the price difference?
