BlrwestSiR Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hopefully this will help a bit. The MLU tail is the left pic. The C tail is on the right. Both are from Jake Melampy's books on the Vipers. The big changes are the top of the vertical tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Actually the kit tail on top is pretty accurate. But the Polish Para Pac has sensors on the sides and top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Also, according to Gary of GT resin, I need the large mouth intake. Also would have to add the bumpy thing neer the intake.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) The kit you bought comes with the large mouth intake so you're good to go there. Edited January 16, 2021 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 I may get the GT anyway. Much nicer and just 1 part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ok, after a lot of confusion over the intake, I spent the morning on the net. Everything I have read about POLISH F16s states they were equipped with P&W 229 ENGINES. This means they had small mouth intakes. Sprue Br. Has both intake and exhaust in stock. I will be ordering them. The Tamiya kit is GE engine and large mouth intakes and different exhaust.still looking for the conformal fuel tanks and extendedpara pack...harv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Harv, have you bought the Tamiya kit yet? If not, Academy comes with both engines, both intakes and I’m betting the CFT’s will fit on the Academy kit better, since they were made for the Academy kit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 OK, I have a set of the Academy CFT’s and the tail part you need. I’ll pull them out of the stash tomorrow and see how they sit on the Tamiya kit. I’ll send post some pics up here. If it works, I still have your address. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Harv, Just snippped the CFT’s off and opened up my Tamiya kit. Not worth taking pics since the front and back halves are on different sprue locations. But just placing the CFT on the back half through the plastic, looks like a perfect fit. Although, looking at the pic you posted, they do look a little different on the back end. I’ll let you figure that one out with filler, putty, etc.. or just live with it! But I have all the parts out and I’ll get them boxed up and on the way Tuesday when the PO opens back up. I went through all the sprues looking for the drag chute housing sensors on the pic you posted with no luck. And I thought these SUFA kits had everything in them..... At least this is a start. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
