lyonkubb Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Craig- I likely have these in my spares as I had a small fleet of these F-16's at one time. I don't have instructions anymore, if you could send a pic and quantity of what you are looking for I can take a look- IM me and I will send direct email to you. -Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
typhoon1 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Still on the lookout for these F-16 Pylons.. Kind Regards Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Can you elaborate what is so special with the pylons of that particular kit? Sprue D looks pretty much the same as all the other 1/72 scale Hasegawa F-16s. Even the F-16CJ or F-16CG kits still have that same sprue in the box Link to Hasegawa 00231 (B1) sprue layout: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10000564/70/3 I might still have some unused pylons from my Thunderbirds F-16A.

typhoon1 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hi There Lancer512 Thank you for the reply ref the F-16 Pylons the scan you sent me shows the Pylons I am after, also these Pylons are in the Hasegawa F-16 B and ADF Italian AIr Force F-16ADF kits, don,t know about the F-16a Thunderbirds.The Hasegawa 1/72 F-16C and on kits carry the newer pylon although carry the same sprue number. Hope this helps. Kind Regards Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lancer512 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Okay. Unfortunately, the Thunderbirds F-16A kit did not come with sprue D. But I guess now I understand what you are talking about. The "old" plyon has visible sway braces and a different mounting base, while the modified sprue for the F-16B and C has (among other changes) a fairing over the sway braces. Old sprue of "F-16A Plus" (Kit # 601, 00231, or B1): Modified sprue with F-16C pylons. It is even written on the sprue next to the pylons.

typhoon1 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thank you Lancer512 I thought I was been a bit awkward but your 2 sprue shots show the difference thank you. And thank you for looking most kind at your kit F-16 kits for me. Many Thanks Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 No problem. I wasn't aware of that very fine difference until I looked really close at both sprues. And neither RoG, Italeri or Fujimi have that pylon. PM Inbound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
