Will AM sets for the Kinetic F-16 fit the Skunkworks -XL

[swimmer25k]

I made a post a few days ago about some 1/48 NASA jets I'm building.  Someone suggested the 1/48 Skunkworks F-16XL as a build candidate.  I enjoy the challenge and detail that some aftermarket sets give to many of the builds I do.  

 

Will aftermarket sets designed for the Kinetic kit fit the Skunkworks F-16XL?

 

Thanks,

G'day Chris,

 

If the AM set is designed to fit a Kinetic F-16 i can't see why it would not fit the SW F-16XL.

Skunkworks and Kinetic are related somehow, and I have F-16s from both manufacturers and there is a high degree of parts commonality between the two. The wheels, cockpits, undercarriage bays and weapons sprue parts are identical. The F-16XL kit is basically two new sprues fro the fuselage and the remainder are mostly Kinetic F-16 sprues,

 

cheers,
