Hello to everyone here at armorama. I'm planning to buy a Kangnam F-16 1/32 scale. my questions are, does anybody have any experience with this model? I s it accurate? would it be the same as the newer F-16s (block 50/52)? I plan to buy decals to update the model but i'm not sure if it would be correct to do so.
Anyways thanks in advance

I havn't seen this kit in person but its price is worth a go. I'm personally interested in their F16XL. I've liked the delta wing design and wished it would've gone into service. I advise you to look at the kit parts then decide if its a good idea go ahead buy the kit, you may be better off getting the Hasagawa offering instead. STUG

Always a story of molds travel.
Seems that Kangnam bought molds from different source .
f-16xl is the old revell one wich was made in china.
SO for the f-16 we have two options ;we have a revell kit or we have an hasegawa kit.
most of their 1/72 range seeming to be hasegawa mold.

Bat, last I heard was that they were both old Revel molds but I don't now the condition of them or the kits they produce. I was just saying that Hasagawa may be the way to go. Like I said though most are costing me around $15-$20 US they may be worth a go. STUG

stug i understood your opinion.
what i wanted to explain is that it can be a hasegawa mold also because kangnam has a lot of old hasegawa stuff in their 1/72 scale range

Hi guys, I had a look at the kit and was impressed with it. It can be made into a F-16C plus. so far it has the larger horizontal tail, a small mouth intake. from appearances it's probably a hasegawa kit I'll probably write a review about it in the coming weeks :-) If you want a look at the sprues, check it www.luckymodels.com . you can find it there. thanks again guys
