KursadA Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Is it possible to build a USAF / ANG F-16 ADF using the new Kinetic kit out of the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crash Test Dummy Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 It's missing the bird slicers and the vertical tail base shape is off (too wide). All the A/B tail bases are too square at the aft end to mate up with the extended tails that are sized for C/D tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nathant Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 No antennas for the nose or bottom of the intake, also missing correct instrument panel?, how about proper chaff/flares? Spotlight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Both correct IP and spotlight is included in the kit. Otherwise missing the birdslicers as already mentioned, but it does have the buldge on the tail. Also missing the 501-launchers for the Sparrow. The birdslicers are not necessary depending on timeframe as not all had them in the beginning. The rest is needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crash Test Dummy Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Oddly, the 501 launchers are on the sprue for Sparrow missiles Kinetic includes in some boxings of the F/A-18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I know and agree. I also think the sway braces are a bit small, but haven't found any photos to correct. When compared to the 501's from Wolfpack-D, they appear to small atleast. Hope someone who knows can verify which is closest or correct? I have 2 sets of birdslicers from the earlier A/B model, so well provided for when it comes to these. Some argue that they are too thick, but will work for my purposes.

Niels Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Nice @Raymond Chung 🤩 Add-on to existing sprue or brand new sprue? Did a search on the pics on LuckyModels.com but couldn't find it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also a smoke pipe ready for the T bird boxing later this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buckmeister Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Any chance of getting a re-tooled vertical fin for the F-16A so we don’t have to use aftermarket? The base is way too wide and square in cross section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
