Need help! Question about F-16!

I am currently building the Italeri 1/12 F-16 Cockpit and I have an idea for a display. I would like to put a complete 1/48 F-16 next to it but I don’t know which model available would fit with this cockpit. I’m pretty sure it represents one of the earliest model of F-16 but …

What is my best option?

I already have the Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ block 50. Is it too complicated to backdate it? Is there a conversion kit?

Please help!

Yann, the Italeri cockpit kit is an F-16A. I’m not sure whether there are F-16A kits in active production, but it should still be available, especially online or in somebody’s stash.

Thanks Ross, it looks like Hasegawa have it.

The Hasegawa kit is your only viable option. Though you know, it wouldn’t be impossible to modify the 1/12 cockpit into a C model. What are you thinking of building for the 1/48?
