Supertom Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi everyone, I'm trying to build the F-16 RNlAF J-066 "Orange Jumper" from the 1999-2005 scheme (with the large kangaroo). On the side note of the sheet regarding the stiffener plates: Does this mean I only use A, D, E, F, K & L? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 A and D where only applied later, so the rest of the stiffener plates will be required to be used. You can see them in this photo from 2009 and this one from 2007 This photo (from 2020) shows that J-066 now has all the stiffners (incl. A and D), but back in early 2000's as per this photo she didn't have any. The A and D reinforcements are very difficult to spot in photos unless the angle is right, so I propose you do as you feel and just make a choice to either use them or not. But do use the rest of them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meindert Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 hi, check out the IPMS NL walkarounds page that also shows the Orange Jumper *(that also shows info I had) here: https://www.ipms.nl/walkarounds/walkaround-jets/799-walkaround-f16-mdv Some Orange Jumpers models I made can be found at my website.

Boman Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Going by pic 39/42 it seems stiffners A and D wasn't installed until after 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
