Cloggy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 And anything else that might not be obvious - for a friend who's starting this from the Hasegawa kit (1/48 - 09474). Any help much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hatchet Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 If it's a Block 40 it's big-mouth. GE engined aircraft are the Block x0s, while the P&W engined (and small-mouthed) aircraft are Block x2s. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom Phreak Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Any Blk 30 after tail 86-262 is a big mouth ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Depending on what era he makes (newly delivered from GD), it may or may not need the scab plates on the spine, if it does, he needs em all. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruud Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hoi Cloggy, 89-0489 is a F-16C Block 40C. Thus GE engine and a big mouth. It should have the WAR HUD as well and has the capability to carry LANTIRN. This from WAPJ Vol. 22. later Ruud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taco44 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yep, Big Mouth. Couldn't have picked a better jet to model. 489 was the pride of the fleet and not only was the cleanest 40 we had, but high flyer for almost all of the 11 years we had her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
