ScottsGT Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Stop it! Just stop!! Having already built 8 F-16’s and still have 6 7 kits in the stash along with the Greek decals and no kit for them, I don’t need to be seeing things like this! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Love these, problem for me is that those are all early block Vipers, so I guess you need either the Tamiya F-16C or Thunderbirds kit - Academy?? - and these are very hard to find these days. Correct me if there are alternatives. Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if there are alternatives. Lothar Well, around here the F-16C is easy enough to find, but it’s 100 USD. Plus shipping to Germany and it gets spendy. Are they not available from Hannants? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The Tamiya Thunderbirds kit is long discontinued but GT Resin makes an NSI intake you could use. If going with the Academy kit, Zacto does the NSI intake for that kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have the Tamiya F-16CJ with all the bells and whistles to build a Block 52, but then I guess I still have to take care of the different MLG one way or another. Around here neither the Academy nor the Tamiya F-16C are available anywhere and Ernie is right, shipping from across the big pond would kill any deal. Although, building one of the early ones from this decal sheet is indeed more than tempting Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 With all this talk about NSI and MLG, I guess this is Viper talk, a mysterious and often neglected dialect of “non propeller” language, often practiced at Viper worship rituals................is there a book I need to read.......... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of Jake Melampy's books on the Viper are a great resource. 3 hours ago, Lothar said: Don't bother, I didn't understand the Viper dialect either, and even lessons taken at evening schools didn't help me to understand it completely till today..... I'm still learning myself. I've only learned enough about the versions I plan to build. That gets confusing enough.

ScottsGT Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 For giggles and grins I was watching an Academy Block 50/52 kit on eBay last week because of that nice decal and stencil kit I bought. Auction started out around $50. It sold for $189.00. I know the kit is out of production, but Academy just brought back the SUFA. I’m sure they will do the same for the single seat models too. I was going to add #8 to the stash if I could have snagged it for under $90 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The Sufa is $129 CAD at NRChobbyshop.com and free shipping in Canada. Which is around $90 USD. Don't even look at their Trumpeter kit prices or you'll cry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a dedicated prophead as well, but every now and then a belchfire oil burner needs to be slapped together just to keep one’s head clear. Whats not to love about 18 gazillion microscopic stencils, building, painting and decalling 60 of the same bomb, putting on all the exact blades, antennas, rivet pattern around the relief tube exhaust, and removing ejector pin marks from inside the big white sucker scoop.... lest you get yelled at and made sport of by the Brotherhood of the Blowtorch. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I've got a fantastic deal from aderowlands - brandnew F-16CJ with all the serious bells and whistles to build a block 52+ and I've ordered CFTs and decals for a Polish viper from Big H, that will make up for not being able to build a -C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The only Fantasy Printshop decals I've used were on my Spitfire PR X conversion and I didn't have any issues. I believe the Airscale instrument decals are printed by them. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
