Does any manufacturer make a 1/48th scale F-16 Fighting Falcon



Matt

Academy does a couple, as do Hasegawa. Italeri has one as well and IIRC Tamiya also do a few.

EDIT: The above manufacturers cover the F-16 from versions A to D.

Thanks

In 1/48th scale you've got a pretty good selection of choices:

Tamiya - altho, IIRC this is "sort of" the YF-16

Hasegawa - A/B/C/D and different blocks therein, general consensus seems to be the Hasegawa kits are the best of the lot

Academy - A and C, I really like these kits and (for me) are a good alternative to the more expensive Hasegawa kits

Testors/Italeri - IIRC their F-16 kit (primarily an early A model) allow you to do either a single-seater or two-seater.

Heller - I think it's a re-pop of the Testors-Italeri kit

ESCI - A model, fro a variety of reasons, I'd pass on this one

Monogram - Did a "sort of" YF-16, too, then later marketed it as an F-16A.

Revell - a "ditto" of the comments for the Monogram ki

Hasegawa's are the best in my opinion and I have seen the prices on these vary widly it appears to come down to the decales in the box most of the time. You can shop around for the version you want and get a set of aftermarket decales tha you like still do ok.
Good hunting

check ou this link, pretty comprehensive listing of all F-16 kits made in all scales, although I think this will take you to the 1:48 scale kits.

The Hasgawa's practically fall together ,I have built the C and the D Barak
and I really enjoyed them

If you wait a few weeks Tamiya is announcing a new 1/48n F-16CJ at the Shizouka Show.
