FS36375 should be quite close in my opinion

Nice!

Agreed 😆 The Chilean Vipers are ex-RNLAF, so naturally they are similar as they came with the chute when delivered. The design of the RoCAF and RNLAF/RNOAF parachute housing are the same - there is no size difference. They both have the A/B tail, so hence the same. The chute inside might be different in design, but again - the housing is not for the A/B tailbases nor the C/D tailbases.

The attachment point of the chute is what will matter, not the housing itself. That is but a shell/enclosure. Not 100% sure, but believe the attachment point of the chute is in the tailbase structure, not the housing itself.

Very cool! 😄

@Thadeus, you can't compare dragchute housing on the F-16C/D with the F-16A/B - they have totally different design due to different tailbases and thus little in common. Over on F-16.net there is lots of information to clarify, but in short, on the F-16A/B the RNoAF required parachutes to break landing on icy runways. The Belgians adopted this, but instead of drag chute used this for ECM. The RNLAF copied the Norwegian solution, so also did Indonesia on their F-16A/B fleet. Later, these got reinforcements around the rear with a "zig-zag" pattern. The RoCAF (Taiwan) and Venezuelan is model

Nice!

Oooh, looking forward to June release and Dark Viper 5 🤩

Very nice! These will be available in 1/48 aswell, right?

Gents, take the discussion elsewhere, it doesn't belong in this topic.

Here's a selection of alternatives for you; reskit mig-29* 1:48 - Scale Modeling Search (scalemates.com)

Being manufactured in Turkey doesn't mean that the base design is any different. It is common that same design manufactured at different locations receive different "part numbers" to distinguish where it is produced. After all, there is only so many differences you can make to an F-16C/D tail. Interestingly enough, even if the Turkish are manufactured locally, not all Turkish F-16 have these intstalled?

Thanks for confirming @Cliff C

Very nice! Is the cockpit from Ultra fixing the shape issues of the HB kit?

I have the Kittyhawk F-35C and would welcome a proper decal sheet. The USN is slow in onboarding the F-35C compared to the USMC and USAF btw.
