Derek B Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 From what I can see Mark, yes (most of the changes will probably be confined to the cockpit and stores). https://www.f-16.net/ Derek mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyfoos Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Yes, pretty easy. New HUD and stiffening plates (Cross Delta makes some nice ones) Here's a good lowdown on how to make other blocks with Tamiya kits: http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/f16blockssb_1.htm mark31, Kagemusha, Out2gtcha and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggyfoos Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Here's the 1/32 plates: https://spruebrothers.com/cxdcd32001-1-32-crossdelta-f-16c-falcon-stiffener-plates-for-block-25-30-32-40-42/ Also for the WAR HUD, I believe the Academy kit comes with one and Wolfpack also has(had?) made them.

Derek B Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I make Hellenic Air Force F-16s, so one thing to bear in mind for your Turkish version is that the aircraft of both air forces have the fin extension which houses the brake chute (maybe with antenna). Some TuAF F-16C Block 40 aircraft don't have the brake chute housing, so you may be OK Cheers Derek Edited March 25, 2021 by Derek B mattcour and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcour Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 You may have to take care of the ECM antennae on boths sides of the intake and the chute housing. Derek B and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
