F-16A Comments

Has anyone build these F-16A Kits?

Academy 1/48 F-16A/C Falcon

REVELL 1:48 F-16A

Hasegawa 1/48 F-16A

I want to build an “A” using the Belgian decals but I want to ensure accuracy and not hassle with to many fit problems.

Thanks as always for the valuable input from forum.

If the Revell kit is the same moulding as the Monogram kit, then I’ve done it! And got another in the stash too. If it’s the same, it’s a pretty easy build, but not quite as detailed

Don’t bother with the R/M or Academy kit. Both have shape and fit issues, and the detail isn’t as good as the Hase. If you want to do a BAF Viper, go with the Hase. It has the right parts, fit is excellent, and the shape is bang on. It also has more detail, but with a little grade-up parts, turns out real nice. Even after 25 years, this mold still stands up, and is second only to the Tamiya kit. I wouldn’t bother with the Kinetic kits either…that’s a whole other story…
