Alex SZ1996 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 which is the best 1:48 two seater F-16? i think i read the Hasagawa F-16 were number 1 until Tamiya made theirs. but Tamiya didnt make a two seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBayKid Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Tamiya with either the KASL Hobby conversion, or grafted-on Hasegawa or Kinetic parts. I've done the latter, and it's not difficult to do. A bit daunting to start cutting on a Tamiya kit, but once you clear that hurdle it's pretty straightforward. I can't believe Tamiya has never done an F-16D. The ways of Tamiya-san are truly inscrutable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex SZ1996 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 im thinking kits without conversions. a conversion is more than what i can handle, so i have most interest in best base kit. i have a Tamiya F-16C in stash. the way Tamiya engineered this kit is great. i dont get why they didnt make a two seater, but if they did i wouldnt be in doubt about which to go for.

NorthBayKid Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It’s probably a toss up between Hasegawa and Kinetic. I’ve heard rumblings that Kintic is going to re-do their f-16 family in their new “Gold” series (totally new tooling), correcting all the past errors hopefully.

Really? That would be awesome!!! What’s the source of this rumor if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBayKid Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Facebook page for Kinetic (I think??). Rumors are of a new family of F-16s, a new family of A-4s, and some other goodies. But they keep pushing back their already announced Pucara and Mirage F.1 family. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
