86-0046 is a Block 30D with the MCID (big mouth) inlet. I have a table on my site:

RJE71, Pumpkin, the linked file covers USAF/USN Block 30/32 production from the first FY SerNo that had a GE engine (an F-16N) to the last USAF Block 30 produced. This is the range that is most often confusing to even the most learned Viperholic. Notice that the end of Block 25 production overlapped the beginning of Block 30/32 production - at least from a FY SerNo standpoint. The information was taken directly from the Block 25/30/32 -1 manual.

Thanks Habu2 ..

I am just trying to figure what F-16 I want to build .. I want to do a few in 72nd .. One is a block 40 that I want to do and that is fairly staright forward ..

But I want to to a Wolfpack jet from about 1990 time frame ..

I was hopin that they were small inlet but since thats not the case, I guess I will pick up two of the Hasagawa CJ kit ..

Cheers

Robert

RJE71, in 1:72 kits with MCID inlets you have three choices, the Hasegawa CG/CJ/DJ series (#s 125, 169, 174, 358, 370, 448 and 631), the newer Revell #4633 and Monogram #85-5309 kits, or the AMT/ERTL kit #8927. The AMT/ERTL kit has the MCID but no other 40/50 parts like bulged gear doors etc.

Habu2 .. Thanks again .. I will use the Hasagawa kit .. I never really had any problems with there Viper kits ...

I think it will not be to hard to scratch build the block 40 Hud frame to get it to look correct ..
