Hello i'm new here so I decided to write a post about why there isn't a 1/72 F-16E/F Block 60 or a F-16C Block 52+. I know there are kits like this where you don't have to buy aftermarket parts but the Hasegawa and Kinetic in 1/48 (too expensive/big) and there 2 seaters Mad

! Don't ask why I just have a problem with 2 seat fighters. The conversion kits are way to expensive i mean cmon $35 bucks for an isracast F-16I detail set atleast throw in the R.O.G. F-16B you recomend it should go with Wink

. I can get 2 Hasegawa F-16CJ's for that much money. So post on this if you agree with me you don't have to agree with me on the 2 seat thing.

I agree there should be some in 1/72 scale, i my self could scratchbuild them from styrene plastic sheets, i've used the halves of some MK-82 bombs that are 1/48 scale sand them down a little so that there even with the inflight refueling receptacale that's how i made my cft's, they look a'okay to me.

Yeah but the part about making them yourselve is that they don't always look right I scratched built some of my own but they arn't to good Sad

.

The model companies make enough already on all of their different kits- they could easily repop an older kit with a sprue of conversion parts as a bonus. Modelers deserve a break, it's an easy fix and cost bargain!

There is a DEFINITE need to add a 1/72 F-16C/D blk52+ kit with CFTs and all the other upgrades(extended fin base as an example) and with decals for the users(Greece, Poland, UAE, and now Morocco) too. With all the recent sales and the continued popularity of the aircraft(in the real world and the hobby world), we need a good model of the current aircraft.

Thank you we should E-mail Kinetic to downsize some of thier kits to 1/72 and make single seat versions.

Eeeek, no way; anyone but Kientic. They've fubar'd the 48th scale F-16 something fierce. We ought to solicit a more compentent model manufacture for a 72nd Block 52+ update, like Haseagwa or ROG. I'd actually like to see decent aftemarekt company do it, like Aires/Quickboost. AVM Resin made a set of CFTS, but they shapes are totally off.

Hell, we might even look into it, but it will be a while.

Well I wouldn't put it past Hasegawa to make their new Sufa kit in 1/72. Once they do that, we're covered!

There should be a 1/72 F-16C with CFT's.
