Tamiya 300061106 F-16C/N Lockheed Martin Fighting Plane Model 1:48 Scale

Well Since Tamiya announced they were releasing this kit, we modelers have been champing at the bit. I got this kit in my grubby paint and glue stained paws, only to realize I have a problem... I want more!!! This kit is the Grail we Viper lovers have been looking for. Truthfully it is not just a Block 30 - 32 - 42 and N But a Block 25, 30, 32, 40, 42, 50, 52 all rolled into one box. Granted you will have to figure out the parts for where they go.. But that is the fun... The Pilot LOOKS GOOD!!! that is not a first for a kit But a plus when you think you want to detail the cockpit with someone in it. With the panels that you have to fill this means that other variants are in the works. Crisp and clean lines, sharp detailing in the engraving as well as a wonderfully rendered gear bay... Be cautious with this one as the biggest problem is, the seam on the top of the canopy as well as the radome being in two parts... Careful sanding and a dip in Future will take care of the seam line. The radome needs to be joined with sparring amounts of adhesive. Detail Up Parts are available for this kit, they include the various reinforcement plates (Lawn Mower Blades, or scab plates) as well as metal AOA Probes and Pitot Probe. Some Observations... 1 Bit pricey -- but worth it 2 No Weapons outside the Aim-9's and Aim-120's -- Hey it is an Aggressor / Adversary it don't need them... 3 Static Discharge strips on the Radome are all but eliminated when you sand it -- Be Careful, A Little Tamiya Tape and some Putty will give them back... 4 Static Dischargers missing from the airframe -- well in 1/48th scale they would be about as thin as the fiber from a toothbrush... Hint Hint Hint. 5 There is No Number 5... 6 When all else fails... Research your subject... several websites are available to help you find pictures, reference for paint as well as any quirks in the airframes. I hope this helps you with your Future Viper purchase WG

主翼や胴体、垂直尾翼は、裏表の塗装整合性あるのに、なぜか水平尾翼だけ、上下の整合性ありません。タミヤに質問したら、認めておられましたが、このプラモデルの担当がすでに退社して理由がわからない、と言うことでした。 まあ、こんなの自分でつじつま合わせれば良いのですが、不思議なプラモデルでした。笑

Excelente !

Top in tutto, pezzi rifiniti perfettamente, istruzioni chiarissime piu’ opzioni di versione

Great kit, as always with Tamiya.
