I'm looking to start my Avonds F-16A this winter, converting it to an F-16C.
I have some really nice 3-views but they are only in 1:48 scale and void of a lot of the smaller rivet type detail (just shows panel lines and hatches).
Can anyone point me to a good source for additional details on this aircraft? I already have the Danny Coremans book, but are there others with good detail?
Thanks in advance for the support.

Airliners.net has a search engine that will get you pictures of the F-16C.

Differences between the A and C are slight overall. Main ones are the larger stabs and the thicker dorsal fin. All other panels and rivets are identical excpet for panels on the dorsal fin and the remoavable elading edge on the stab. This of course can be dependant on which block series of the C model you are doing. The Block 25 and 32 would be the closest with the Block 30 having the main difference os the exhaust nozzle. Determine an actual tail number as I can help you a bit more.

Hello:

I hope this help you:

Go to airway.ru for sure they have many good drawings and you should download them all then sort them later.

Get yourself a Tamiya 1/32 kit!!

Hi again:

Really the diferences betwen the "C" and "A" versions are fews, with Dani book you have enought, I think.

One question, do you will make EDF version ?

Congrats for your F-104, she is pretty.

Thanks for the input guys, some great leads. I'm thinking I may be able to get away with putting my chosen 'C' scheme on the 'A' kit without many people knowing the difference. May be easier than making mods to Philip's kit. I am planning on going EDF on this one so I'll be watching weight as I proceed.
Carlos, thanks for the comps on the F-104. I'm really pleased with how it turned out and hope to continue that success with the F-16. [8D]

Hello:

I read your article in Jet magazine.

The main difference is the antenna bottom the rudder. I think there are more differences, but at first view this is the main.

In the photos you can see the Tomahawk "A" version and Scale Jets "C" version (Thunderbirds).

Which will be the paint scheme ?

Regards.

Thanks, part 2 of the article should be more interesting as it will cover the finish, etc.

I've narrowed it down to 3 schemes at the moment, with the US Razorbacks in a slight lead.

Sean to many ARFs have the razor back scheme. Do something like the tiger one! It would be one of a kind and I know you would do it right!

Good point Gun (as usual), I'm starting to realize there are more pics out there of models vs. the full size in the razorbacks scheme. I have a lot more pics of the Tiger scheme, plus I have a really really good decal set for that model (in 1:32) which tackles the tail with multiple layers of decals and masks that should serve as a good guide for me to cut masks to paint it. I'll start a thread when I dive into it....until then I'm still looking for good dwgs demonstrating a high level of surface detail.
