Have any of you built this kit?
It looks awesome from the box cover.

I found a review online that said it was every bit as good as the Hasegawa F-16 kit so I figured what the heck and ordered it from Great Models. [:D]
It is going to be my Father’s Day present. [;)]

Hey Mike V;
I’ve built the Italeri F-16A TigerMeet 98 kit, it’s not to bad but the cockpit needs work, it’s lacking most detail you’ll find in the Hasegawa’s and there is some gaps between the cockpit tub & upper fuselage, but I think if you’d use the Eduard F-16A PE kit then it’ll take care of most of those problems, also be very carefull around the Static Dischargers on the wings & stabs they are very delicate and will brake easy, the Decales are great but you must do 1 side at a time and wait 2 to 3 days for them to dry before handling

Thanks for the heads up Dennis. [;)]

Is the Italeri kit the same kit as the Revell Germany one?

Man here I am waiting for Hasegawa’s F-16A Tiger Meet '03 and this one slips under my nose. I just ordered the Zotz decal set for the Belgian Viper’s #1 and have been looking my [censored] for a decent kit. Hmmmm I just might have to get that one and the Hasegawa one when it comes out.

Bryan,

Hurry up and order one of the Revell Germany kits and we can compare notes while we build it. [;)]

Sorry to get back to you so late Mike. I am in the process of ordering the Revell of Germany kit and the Hasegawa '03 kits. So after I get the 2 F-35’s done I dont see a problem with doing both of the kits and comparing them. I got the Zotz decals in and they are gorgeous, now I really cant wait to get the kits in.
