swimmer25k Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm considering picking one of these kits to fill a slot in a NASA collection I'm building. What's the build quality of this kit? Is it closer to Tamiya or Mach 2?? Thanks, chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would say it is close to Kinetic since that is the basis for the XL kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caiotfjr Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Skunkmodels F-16 XL is a close relative to Kinetic's F-16s, since both kits share common sprues. Kinetic's F-16s aren't Tamiya's "shake'n bake" kits, nor are Mach 2's nightmares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camus27 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think it went together pretty well, somewhere between Hasegawa and Tamiya. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camus27 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 One thing to add: be sure to weight down the nose, this one is heavy in the back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was a memorable tail-sitting event at GD when an engine was installed while the radar was removed... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
