My point is not that they get them

I understood very well what you meant   Just pointing out that certain airframes aren't exactly ready to use and are therefore more a hindrance than help.

How does the Italeri F-16A kit hold up against the others?
 

Im thinking of this one

F-16 A NATO FIGHTER, Italeri 841 (1995) (scalemates.com)

And this one

Lockheed Martin F-16 A Fighting Falcon, Italeri 2786 (2018) (scalemates.com)

I guess it depends on how you feel about accuracy and fit. If you search for reviews of Italeri F-16s most are not kind on either category. I looked at the sprues to see what the ADF tail looked like and the ADF unique bulges on the tail look like they just scabbed on lumps, so you will have to blend those in to look right.  The only thing I see going for it is some of them have pretty good decal sheets.

 

From this site, the thread boils down to everyone saying get a Hasegawa:

It will certainly look like an F-16! But it is certainly no a good kit by todays standards!

 

If you can get one really cheap, build it! Some come with great decals.... but  but most sell rather expensive when new ( pricing policy of Italeri...)
