For reference and proper nomenclature; it's not a nose it's a Radome and there's nothing wrong shape wise with the F-16XL radome. This resin replacement radome comes in one piece and does offer the High AOA extended Pitot, but it's not all that accurate.

Wait!  What?...the nose has a radome...what the....

Oh, no!.. That happened again...

 

When I intend to build a model which was not available on market at that time, appearing suddenly when I close to finish my modification. Grrrrr...  :wall:

I have used Kinetic F-16A/B NSAWC and Skunkworks F-16XL Ship 1 for this conversion. 👷‍♂️

 

The result is not too bad, isn't it?

I have Ship 1 waiting in sealed box for its turn 🙂

Also Revell 1:72 F-16C Based XL-1 and XL-2 conversions are still in progress. May be at some point I can achieve to finish all these kits waiting on bench before my retirement (in next 20 years) ...

Cheers

It will be difficult but could be possible.

İt happened again...

I have started to build Su-30MKM/MKI & T-10UBM-1 and very close to end. But Zvezda had announced that this kit will be released in 2019... :angry:

İf you want to have a special kit version which is not available in the market let me know to make it released... 😁

I was considering the same 2 seat conversion then I heard they were actually going to release the 2 seat version,  so that ended my attempt. 

 

Nice work you've done this far and do finish it. One of the key differences between standard 2 seat F-16 and the 2 seat XL canopy, is the aft hinge frame is thicker for XL II. I had already extended this on my attempt.

Thanks Mike,

Can you please explain a bit more the difference and if possible any reference pictures from your mod or actual aircraft? Maybe I can take into account this in my 1:72 conversion.

Cheers

Sometimes it pays off being a late starter. I have not started my planned XL-2 conversion yet. And now, I have of course ordered the new 2-seater kit...
