signals Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Would anybody happen to have close-ups of the porch light on the F-16 ATF also, the dimensions of the hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) It's the same as the ligth on the RNoAF aircraft. You can see it here; aai.jpg photos | F-16.net There's also an earlier topic on the same in the forum; View topic - Search Lights - F-16 Design & Construction I don't have the dimensions, sorry, but have used a 3mm drill when I converted a Tamiya F-16C into an -A some years ago. It matched the photos for 1/48 fairly well. Edited December 17, 2022 by Niels Quote Link to post Share on other sites

signals Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 That should translate to about 5mm in 1/32!!! Time to scour the web for 5mm lenses!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Note the actual light (and lens) is recessed behind a clear window that is flush with the fuselage skin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Here is a photo showing well the size in relation to the blister and a human hand. Aicraft is 671 of the RNoAF https://www.f-16.net/g3/photos/3919 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
