KEB Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm starting a build of the Tamiya 1/32 F-16, and I want to find out what's out there for reference books...I have the old "Detail and scale", "Locked on No. 2" and a couple of older publications, but I'm looking for a good book or on line reference for Block 30 - block 50. My build will most likely be of the Block 30 Green splinter aggressor using the new outstanding decals from TwoBobs, i'm aware that the Kit is a block 50 so any help in regards to mods to back date it to a block 30 would be helpful too. thanks guys!

gb_madcat_sl Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Look no further than Jake Melampy's Modern Viper Guide. It is sold out at Reid Air Publications but there is a 2nd edition in the works that will be out hopefully in the not too distant future. https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Viper-Guide-F-16C-Exposed/dp/0979506417 Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) There is also Danny Coreman's excellent book. Also sold out but available from other sources, but unfortunately the price is a bit steep (though not as steep as Reid Air's). http://www.dacoproducts.com/KDCB001.php Edited April 8, 2018 by Mstor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also Jake put out a Scale Viper book by Pete Fleischmann that features several Tamiya builds in 32nd. https://www.amazon.com/Scale-Viper-Modelers-Guide-Building/dp/0979506468 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If the “green splinter aggressor” is an F-16N you will need the NSI small mouth inlet. AFAIK it was only available in the Thunderbird release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
