habu2 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I searched my database for F-16C/D sheets with serial numbers starting with 83- or 84- (these would be Block 25s) and found quite a few: Aeromaster 48-556 Afterburner 48-030, -050, -058, -067 Caracal 48-056 Experts Choice 48-050 Fox One 48-016 Superscale 48-278, -299, -318, -344, -406, -447, -448, -622, -696, -906, -907, -991, -1029, -1055, -1086, -1208, -1214 Speed Hunter 48-005, -013 Two Bobs 48-012, -019, -042, -084, -098, -139 This is not an all inclusive list, just sheets I know of.

jmel Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Which squadrons and/or timeframe are we looking at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet14 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks guys. Jake any squadrons really for timeframe I guess when the USAF used the Block 25s that were brand new or close to it so maybe FY 83-85 jets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Elite decals did some Shaw block 25's some years ago. TAC badge is incorrect as it displays the ACC name, but otherwise fine https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?adv=1&product_category_id=&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=7999&product_type_id=&code=&scale_id=955&keyword_search=&setPerPage=100&sort=0&search_direction=0&restore_search=&save_search_active=yes&save_search_name=&save_search= Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes FY 85 spanned production of Blocks 25/30/32. I just did a quick search on FY 83 & 84 since they were definitely Block 25. My database does not specify Block 25/30/32 so I didn’t include all sheets with FY 85. Note late production Block 15s were also FY 83 but my database specifies A/B vs C/D so the sheets I listed should be Block 25 not 15.l Edited March 8, 2018 by habu2 Formatting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet14 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 What are the external differences between F-16As and early Cs? Thanks for all the help guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 To do through research on an F-16 You really need to check out www.F-16.net But in simple terms the main difference is the Tail, next would be, and this is later in the A/C life, stiffener plates ...but you REALLY need to check out that site Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Hornet14 said: What are the external differences between F-16As and early Cs? Thanks for all the help guys. Externally the tail base which is wider on the C vs. A. Overall main difference between the A and C. Then you later had different engine alternatives for the C: Block 25/32/42/52 have PW engines, block 30/40/50/60 have GE. Then there is the myriad of more suttle differences like tailplanes, antennas etc. etc. Check out www.F-16.net as mentioned, its endless in providing details and information and will give you many late nights of reading Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 This is a link to a web archive of my old website describing block differences. I wrote this 10-15 years ago but it is still relevent. http://web.archive.org/web/20071230234333fw_/http://www.habu2.net:80/vipers/viperblocks/index.html also a review of kits and decal sheets that indicates block numbers for each serial # depicted on the sheet. Again, all sheets are 10+ years old, I stopped updating the page(s) when I lost my web host. http://web.archive.org/web/20080102053025fw_/http://www.habu2.net:80/vipers/viperkits/48/kits48.html My old website was the basis for most of the F-16 kit and decal info on modellingmadness Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hornet14 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks guys I can't thank you all enough for the amount of help you've given a noob. Going to dig through F-16.net now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew83128 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I suggest you build 83-128. She was a block 25 and the first jet I was a ADCC on. Go with the 309th scheme 😜. At one time she was “lizard scheme”. http://ad.revive-adservers.com/fcc58b30-6545-424f-92bd-30ac518fe46a?siteid=MTUyMDY1MTk1Ml8yMTI3NzMyXzU3NzE4MTU2Nw&sitedomain={sitedomain} Quote Link to post Share on other sites
