Niels Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi guys Anybody know if there are any plans to release an aftermarket tail base for the F-16A ADF? The Revell/Monogram F-16 ADF is not my favourite, and Wolfpack's ADF conversion is OOP and did get critique for propotion issues. Italeri's tail is far off too, and Daco is still far from relasing his tail base conversion set? PWMP has a nice tailbase, but would have thought that there would be other alternatives too? So what are we left with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Tree "E" in the Kinetic kit has an ADF tail base, but the tree is only included in the A/B boxings. The C/D/E/F kits have the appropriate tail parts on tree "F". Edited March 8, 2017 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks Habu2, but the Kinetic kit has dissapointed me too many times unfortunatelly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I've been looking for one myself as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Understand, but your options are limited. You're going to have to do some kit-bashing anyway, be it Kinetic or Revell or aftermarket resin. Ask around, maybe someone has the Kinetic parts laying around in their spares box. I believe they are parts E3 & E4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vodnik Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have four different ADF tail bases: two resin (PWMP and Italian Kits) and two plastic (Revell and Kinetic). And none of them is fully correct... And the old Revell tail seems to be the easiest to make useful... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 the only good tails for ADF were made by Cutting Edge, I used 8 of them. A few years ago a company from California was working on a new convesion set for the Tamiya kit, Michael Valdez may know more, I'm sorry I can't remember the name of that Company, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I recently finished one and I cut the base off the Revell kit, scribed it correctly, then glued the Hasegawa tail on top. You'd never know it wasn't made that way. Easiest way I've found... Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
