F-16 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Anyone have any info if Skunkmodels workshop will do a 1/48 F-16XL two seat version? I thought Raymond said that if the sales of the single seat version were good, that they would release a two seat model? Any news on this Raymond?

flanker27 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 yar lets hope they release a two seater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yes the XL2 is planned. But not in 2016. You know last 2 years is really a busy year for me. We had released 10 items since the harrier fa2. And I had not take any holiday since then. After release the f18? Now we back on the Rg31 mk5 and t harrier schedule for year end. The XL2 is should be allocated in 2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JEN722 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 No need to release it. I am already in the process of converting the XL1 to the XL2. Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Bump for any update on the two seater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 bump, and how about a two seater J-15 while we're at it? J-15S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 How about a re-print of the single seater?? They're very hard to find for a reasonable price. M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Walker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yes, but I'm not willing to pay stupid money like they are asking for that kit. Yes, that is my choice to make. I don't need it "that" badly! M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dylan Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Raymond. any chance of a large spine and CFT's to make a whif Sufa version of the XL? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 XL didn’t need CFTs. Between the fuselage stretch and the bigger wing the XL had something like 80% more internal fuel capacity and L/D increased something like 25% over the F-16A/B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Order button has been pushed!! Now for the 2 seater! 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary F Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Glad to see this alive and coming later in the year. I'm with Dylan on including a spine and CFTs for optional builds, just as there were Whif decal options in the single seat version. I think the 2 seater will look good with the spine and CFTs (and some of the other lumps/bumps out there). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Include the F-16F nose and tail and bumps and lumps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Great news! Been waiting for this one.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
