just 2 week's ago i bought a 1/72nd scale f-16, the company the kit came from is turkish does anyone know if there worth building at all, there's no detail what so ever not even a panel line no detail to the cockpit, the landing gear also doesn't look right if i decide to build it it's going to take a lot of scratchbuilding and scribing to get it to look like an f-16.

Short answer: No.
Get rid of it and get a Revell Germany kit.

Thank's Habu for your reply, but i've already started on building it using parts from a hasegawa kit, i figured it was worth the challenge going to start scratchbuilding the wings next then when that's done im going to scribe the panel lines in after that model is done no more model's from that company ever again "oh by the way it a PM MODEL"kitfrom turkey.

Yeah, PM Model is the only Turkish manufacturer. What's with the wings? You have something against using the original planform?

Have nothing against the original wings, i just added f-22 style wings, but the model is coming along quite well had to srcibe all the panel lines in, added all the antennas, left the cockpit alone on this one but not sure if i want to go with a turkish or pakistani one seeing those are the only decals that come with the kit.
