scotthldr Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi, I'm planning build a 1/48 F16I Sufa in the New Year and was wondering what all I need. I have the Hasegawa F16DJ on order and was planning on using the Isracast Sufa conversion. Do I still need to use the Aires F16D cockpit to bring it up to date as I notice that there is Consoles in the Isracast set. What about the exhaust are the ones in the kit suitable. The weapons and drop tanks I already know about and can get these ordered closer to time. Thanks for any help Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those should be in the DJ kit, along with the big mouth intake and the GE engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott, If I'm not mistaking the main IP's aren't correct, they represent a block25 Delta. I recommend an Aires pit, for mine future Sufa build I ordered a block 40/50 BlackBox pit but I decided to use the Aires insted. Much nicer detail. Remy..

scotthldr Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 The Isracast resin conversion kit comes with an intake so would obviously use that one rather than the Hasegawa ones. The conversion also comes with IP's so these would again replace the kit ones. Suppose I would just be as well to replace the whole cockpit with the Aires one and be done with it. Is there any good resin exhausts out there, and is there an issue with the undercarriage being bigger or would this already be covered with the DJ kit? Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 The DJ kit has both flat and bulged gear doors and wide and narrow wheels, in addition to both intakes and both exhausts. Like the -CJ kit, it only has one set of gear legs, though. Basically, externally at least, the the kit is good for a Block 25 to a Block 52. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just been searching the net for exhausts and the only one that keeps coming up is the Aires 4133 which is a Pratt and Whitney version for the A/B models probably a F100-220 maybe even a 200 version. Would this suffice for a 229 if the feathers where Carbon fibred or is there more differences between them? Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even with an Aires update to that kit it would be a considerable savings over the Isracast conversion. Nice but pricey. joe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
