KASL Hobby: F-16A/B MLU Tamiya and Trumpeter tail sets

[Timvkampen]

Hi All,

Just received my order from KASL Hobby from Taiwan. Already had the 1/48 tail sets for my Tamiya kits, but now the 32 scale is available. It is truly remarkably detailed and gives you an opportunity to model a Tamiya or Trumpeter Viper into an accurate A/B (MLU) model.

Hopefully they issue the early tails as well. Cockpit work you still need to do yourself of course as well as some panelling, although the 48-sets have a part to take care of that.

I ordered via messenger on the FB app, so easy to do. The website was a bit more difficult, so I reverted to the messenger.

The tails are a vast improvement over de earlier offerings on the market of CE and PWMP.

It shall make finishing my Viper build easier for sure. Highly recommended.

Interesting! 👍🏻

The tail set looks impressive. No cutting required as opposed to the PWMP set.

That exhaust is for an F-16A/B, right?

I will have to google a little...

[Timvkampen]

yup, no extra cutting and additional trimming!!!!

See the list of details you need to consider when using the tail on LSP:

The tail is block 20 but by far superior to the PWMP set (although they have the RWR etc).

See my 'war' with the PWMP tail:

That looks neat. I checked their Web site, it seems there's no Euro block 30 or higher option to do a Hellenic Air Force version? Is there a major difference in the overall shape of the tail between an MLU and say a Greek Block 50? I know there's some differences in the lumps and bumps, but what about the overall shape and panel lines?

The Block 20 is has an A/B version tail base which is smaller and of a completely different shape than the C/D one used in Block 25 and above jets.

Thanks Mark, though as much. Will have to stick k with the old PWP number.
