Niels Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I propose we drop the discussion on the use of "advanced", as it at best is a marketing jippo, nothing more. Even the "+" can be regarded as dubious, even if it is used more than "advanced". And should there be something like "advanced", then this relates to the tape update included, nothing more as I already explained. Back to the original topic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Oh, Finally! Just for the kicks of it, there is Mistercraft F-16 that could supposedly be built both as C or D. https://www.super-hobby.com/products/F-16CJ-52-Tiger-Demo-Team.html Don't know how advanced or + it is 😉 It's an Italeri repop obviously, so only vaguelly resembling late block Vipers. I keep wondering what would come out of one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It's the Italeri kit, and you better stay clear, not atleast when you have sensibly prices Kinetic F-16A/B/C/D 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Not worth waisting time on when you have better options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mig-21 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Is it possible to modify 1/48 Kenetic F-16 DG/DJ Block 40/50 to a Block 52 I have a chance to pick one up for half the price on ebay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 As far as I know, there is no small mouth air intake and P&W exhaust nozzle in that kit, so the answers is: no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mig-21 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 I checked with the Kenetic website, and you can order parts if they are missing and/or are broken I can get sneaky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you keep asking questions you can easily find answers to using a simple google search? You got tons of replies to your questions and you are still asking trivial things. If you were serious about your original question, you would have already taken the responses and done something with it. Where is your common sense?

scotthldr Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) All Polish D variants have the dorsal spine, so you’ll need one of those as well, along with the para pack, all the various antennas, strengthened forward undercarriage gear and probably some more bits I can’t currently think of…. or buy this https://www.emodels.co.uk//kinetic-1-48-lockheed-martin-f-16c-block-52-48076.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAiJSeBhCCARIsAHnAzT96dS9bTVZ1N3Yu5TGdw2Y6QzeEOVcHR8lcLh_ZjKVGjY3Fxi9cqmsaAv9LEALw_wcB Edited January 17, 2023 by scotthldr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mig-21 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 I still have 5 days to bid on it, if no one bids, I'm going to get it My plan is to try to get parts/sprues from the F-16C/D Block 52+ Polish Air Force Advanced Viper kit no. K48076 I've did it with 2 1/35 Dragon kits years ago, that were "missing" parts Will compare the parts list of both and figure out which sprues I need Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 By the time you pay for sprues/parts/ decals and then postage, you’d just be as well buying the correct kit to start with 🤷♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
