r0t0rdr1ver Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 WOW! Definitely in for a set of these. Kursad, any chance of these in 1/32? My AFV F-16B would look great in this scheme! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Will you be sending some stock over to Hannants, or am I better off ordering them stateside as soon as they are released? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I received these decals today. Everything looks good, so I will set up the product Web page and enable preorders soon. Watch for a "new releases" thread later tonight. There are only 300 of these, so I would recommend preordering. 1/72 version coming in a couple of months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Folks, I received an overwhelming amount of orders for this sheet - thanks! The backlog almost looks like the one I had for the B-58 and YF-23 sheets. I will start shipping preorders tonight, but please be patient with me as I work through all of your preorders.

Ed Nirel Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 This thread with the idea was started on September 20th and now we have decals shipping. That's gotta be some kind of record. You gotta love when things happen like this. Thanks Kursad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vince Maddux Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Got my sheet today, I already have the plane painted and ready to go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SR10user Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Will any of these sheets make it to spruebrothers? I don't have Paypal. Sincerely, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Will any of these sheets make it to spruebrothers? I don't have Paypal. Sincerely, Dave They should be available at resellers (including SB) in the second week of December or so - as a matter of principle, I ship to resellers only after every order and preorder placed in the first two weeks reaches its destination (at least within the US).

Vince Maddux Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is my third F-16 this year. I need to build a different jet next :rolleyes:/>/>/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Do any of the experts here know if the F-16 Block 25 in this decal sheet had a full complement of stiffening plated installed on them? Edited December 5, 2014 by stalal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 All the jets are from the pre-stiffener plate period. So the answer is non :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) This is my third F-16 this year. I need to build a different jet next :rolleyes:/>/>/>/>/> Looks good! You can take a break by building something else, then come back to build one of the two-seaters on the sheet ;-) I can't see any stiffeners on the F-16B that is currently in the museum; so it does not seem to be retrofitted with these - it probably never got them.

habu2 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The CAS/BAI trials (the Block 25s with WA tailcodes) were conducted in the late '80s (IIRC 1988). There were several structural upgrade programs that added the reinforcement plates, two I know of were Falcon UP and Falcon STAR. Falcon UP began in the early '90s and Falcon STAR in 2004. Based on this info I'd say the CAS/BAI trials pre-dated the addition of reinforcement plates to any F-16s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 In the Royal Norwegian Air Force, the first structural reinforcements I know of came in the mid-80s with a small plate just behind the canopy hinge. The late plate on the upper surface wing root came a little later, but must have been introduced in the late 80s. When I built my model of 666 (pre-MLU) with Penguin missiles, I added these plates for what was supposed to be a configuration soon after the Penguin was operational (i.e. 1989).

Niels Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Viper CAS program was anyway prior to the reinforcement plates being introduced. Most of the reinforcement plates came on or around the same time as the MLU program was kicking into gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
