Well, I'm positive "they're" New Belgian Air Force boxing - General Dynamics F-16AM (MLU) "Dark Falcon" is the former 48036 "Tiger Meet" tool of kit release.

I've built the Kinetic 48036 kit and hardly noticed any issues with the shape of the nose. Yeh, me didn't... Cheers, Unc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnobiz Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Raymond told me it's completely the same kit, they just ran out of the old boxes and took the opportunity to change the box art. However the description on LM clearly says they also added weapons, surely from SMW's IDF weapons sets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 May be, this is however the instructions from the 2009 boxing; C:\Users\Mara\Desktop\slozka\navody\f-16\f-16full (scalemates.com) and this is the likely weapons included - GBU-15 confirmed; https://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=SW-48001 Personaly I hope they include the Spice as it is more representative of weapons carried by Israeli jets recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That of course does not mean the corrected one is correct... That's my recollection of it too - even the supposedly corrected one is quite 'iffy' looking, though for some reason the two-seater kits don't look too bad. Actually I was hoping that Kinetic's announcement today might have been a re-tooled 1/48 F-16 series to the same standard as their F-104s, a decent F-16A/A+/MLU is (well, in my view anyway) badly needed in 1/48. Tamiya obviously isn't going to take their series any further than the F-16C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I know the "reshaped" nose is still off, but yet it's better than the original. Honestly I have sorta given up on Kinetic's F-16's, but still keep hoping 😇 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous kinetic IDF a/c were made in collaboration with Isradecal (or at least the decorations), so maybe they know their stuff. Barak means lightning and is the designation of the C model, Brakeet means thunderbolt and it's the designation for this specific D model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say that, some say that Peace Marble II and III C and D aircraft are all called Barak. I don't know, but I found it easy to find consistent translations of "Barak" through various dictionaries. I have never found anything related in regards to "Brakeet". Translating thunderbolt results in "Chaziz". Maybe anyone here who speaks Hebrew and can help?
