jester292 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 How is it different than the F-16C/D nose cone, and how can I get one in 1:48 scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I contacted Lucky MOdel and requested a replacement Kinetic nose cone. It doesn't fit the Hasegawa 1/48 Viper withtout some sanding and fitting, but that is the best suggestion I have. As for difference, firstly there is no pitot tube on the F-16E/F nose cone. Secondly the nosecone have a "hinge line" that goes diagonally from front to top rear of the radome. Best way to illustrate this is through photos; http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album07/album42/abg This photo has a quite distinct marking line to help explain http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album07/album42/abr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mizar Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 other than the hinge, the nose cone shape and overall length (cone+fuselage) is pretty much the same? Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
