Stephen Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The Revell 1/72 F-16D has just been re-released so maybe it'll be easier to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be worth it to gather a couple of friends, pitch in together and order a bunch of them collectively. Saves on postage & import duties, at least.

Allow me to lol a bit I live down the US border right in the middle of nowhere Banana Republics ( we got even a Borat clon as President but as extrange can be sound we have US $ as currency) none know anything about aircraft or plastic modeling and of course no hobby shop not even Hobby Citty so I have buying kits on line right now for about 30 years so its a way cheaper to buy a single kit from Europe or UK (yeah you around but different bunch) let say a kit cost about $20-30 well coming from US mail is about $45-75, coming from Europe around $ 10-12, from UK 7-9 pounds (sorry don't know how to add the pound symbol) and from Lithuania or Estonia mail is $9-10 and from China and South Korea can sometimes be free shipping but also can be less than $10 So Maybe lots of things are overpriced in US Regards Armando PD There is a Car shops that sells some modeling thing but only for Arab Modellers and used to be like US$10 for a single Model Master paint bottle so I stop going like 25 years ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Lynch Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I hadn't noticed. I've got an 1/72 Revell F-16B along with a bunch of Isracast F-16I stuff that I was thinking about putting up on Ebay. Guess I should pay more attention.

Robertone139 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 1/72 Revell f-16D is here, it's the complete F-16C plus an additional sprue with F-16B parts. Still missing are the bulged main gear doors. To note that the F-16B upper forward fuselage is a just about perfect match for Tamiya's F-16C. Hint Hint.
