Drifter Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 A friend of mine son (17) wants to start modelling, and he is showing interest in building a F-16. I was thinking maybe he should start of in 1/48. Can you guys recommend a decent kit that wont frustrate a first timer with fit issues? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Tamiya have a couple of F-16 1/48 kits. Hasegawa also have a nice 1/48 kit. Hasegawa also has the Japanese Mitsubishi version. The JASDF Sea colours are beautiful. This aircraft has a different wing planform. Tamiya is my recommendation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'd agree that the Tamiya kit is probably the best option. The Hasegawa kit is good but over 30 years old now. The Kinetic is more recent but may be a bit more fiddly to build. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
