flanker27 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 hi, Does anyone knows what is the targeting pod in the Hasegawa 1:48 F-16I sufa box? its in the YE part trees and its marked as not used. It looks like a sniper pod but appears to be shorter and missing the airscope below is the link to the parts http://www.1999.co.jp/image/10084618z4/70/4 thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's the F-16E/F block 60 targeting pod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) And THIS PAGE of the instructions tell you to buy the AN/AAQ-13 and -14 for the F-16I in the separate Weapons Set-D X48-8. :lol: Edited March 21, 2009 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magman2 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) It's the F-16E/F block 60 targeting pod. Net Photos Edited March 21, 2009 by magman2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 thanks, so I guess Hasegawa is planning an E/F next? I also noticed the tail sensors for the Polish F-16 is included yap, and the instruction recommends their weapons set as usual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Given that they've invested in injection moulds for the CFT's and spine I'd be VERY surprised if the UAE and Polish aircraft didn't appear in due course. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like they couldn't have included it like on the Block40 issues.I thought the Sufa used LITENING anyway. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon L Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Like they couldn't have included it like on the Block40 issues.I thought the Sufa used LITENING anyway.Stephen No F-16I use Lantirn/Nav pod set up. I don't believe IAF have Litening yet, from what i found out from researching my SUFA build i was gonna do with a crap load of resin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hey just to throw the dreaded 'K' word into this thread - is that Block 60 targeting pod going to be included in the Kinetic in due time. Why I am asking (other than to stir things up!) is that there is a piece on the clear sprue that looks alot like that found in the picture above. I've never seen or heard of that pod - any further info? Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat RIO Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) probably their own version of the sniper/pantera pod? or maybe a downgraded version or variant since the block 60s house alot of electronics internally in the bumps that were previously found on hang on pods. its probably secret military hardware as i cant find anything about it on f-16.net take a good close look at sprue yf guys.. all the little unused bumps and pieces.. looks to me to be found on the front fuselage areas of the block 60.. ok, we might stop speculating as it very clearly points towards a future release of the block 60 and a possible block 50/52 spineback with ecm blip tail version (equals chilean or polish or oman - the singapore and barak does not have tail ecm blips) c'mon now hasegawa, there's only that many spineback f-16s.. and they know their greek boxing failed to score well with modellers Edited March 22, 2009 by Tomcat RIO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I don't believe IAF have Litening yet, LITENING is made by the Israeli firm - RAFAEL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenj Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 No F-16I use Lantirn/Nav pod set up. I don't believe IAF have Litening yet, from what i found out from researching my SUFA build i was gonna do with a crap load of resin. Israel developed Litening pods in the first place. They use them on F-16Ds and Sufas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Israel developed the LITENING III pod. They replaced the LANTIRN setup. At one time, the LANTIRN was used on F-16C and D's. It's pretty much standard now on F-16C/D/I. Not too sure about the A/B's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doctorpepper Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 you can always get a RAFAEL LITENING III from www.drpepperresins.com. They are hung on the sufas very often as it's one of the better targeting pods out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
