A340 Pilot Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi! Where can I get this kit? I've looked at the usual sites but no luck so far. Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 It's been OOP for some years A lot of us want to see it back, for the earlier Block it represents, moulded in grey Tony David66, LSP_K2 and timvkampen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghatherly Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Last one I saw was on EBay and went for almost $400. you can buy Conversion sets for the small intake and PW exhaust, but still no aftermarket solution for the LW gear and hardware. timvkampen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Odd, a few months ago there were many available on Ebay, some of us thought the kit was back in production, but looks like they have all disappeared again...

A340 Pilot Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Yes, would have thought so, but master Italian modeller Pierpaolo Maglio maintains the "Thunderbird" is the best.

Dave Williams Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The only F-16As out of the box are the old Hasegawa or Revell kits. If you want a “modern” kit, it’s pretty much down to Academy or Tamiya. Of the two Tamiya kits, the Thunderbirds kit is easier to convert to a F-16A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yes, L'Ultima Diana based on the F-16A-ADF / MLU. And the Indonesian display team in dazzling red & white. Badly needed in 1/32 scale. I remember the days thirty-five years ago when whole USAF Wings swapped F-4s for F-16s at the rate of about one-two Wings a year — they were everywhere! And now, they've sort of disappeared from the aviation consciousness. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Not sure what you mean- are you referring to the F-4? because the F-16 is everywhere and still being built. cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the past four decades there have been loads of F-16s but the number of LSP kits, in particular, is pathetically small — does Tamiya hate it? Why no skinny F-16A, B/D or even Block 60 with optional love handles? Just mould the Thunderbirds kit in grey, put it in a plain brown box with no decals and we'll buy it.
