HGE Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) I'm trying to plan for a future build of 1/72 scale F-16's. I have several different Hasegawa and Revell kits. ( Revell's new F-16A kit is now on the top of my list thanks to this great site!! :) !!! I was wondering however if Academy's 1/72 YF-16A kit is any good and if would be a good for showing the prototype dementions? Thanks, Henry Edited April 11, 2006 by HGE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 While on the subject of YF-16s… I've got Hasegawa's early 1/32nd F-16 (the Minicraft release in Prototype Colors). Any detail sets that may work with this kit? I'm not into scratchbuilding, so if I can't find any good resin or em, I guess I'll just build it oob. i can't think of anything that's out there other than operational stuff. Any suggestions?

Hi Don, I have that kit too. My intention is to build an F-16A Block 15 of the 162nd TFW Arizona ANG. I got CAM's F-16A cockpit set (32052) and Eduards PE set (32052) both of which are designed for the Hasegawa F-16As. There is also an old Black Box set for this kit (not the current Combat Series kits for the Tamiya and Academy kits) as well as any one of about 5 aftermarket ejection seats. Be advised though that the kit as it is in box will build into a pre-production FSD bird. If you replace the Stencil III seat with an after market ACES seat you can make an early block 5 or block 10 F-16A. If you find some larger horizontal stabilizers (I got some from Revell's F-16C) you can do a later F-16A block 15. Oh and one final thing, the CL fuel tank in the kit is not the kind that was/is used operationally. You would have to replace that too.
