USAF F-16A Trainer

By Francis Lee



USAF F-16A Trainer of Kitech Scale Model (1/72 scale)

The World Economy is bad, my friend worked in a tradfng company that a whole department was dismissed and he found an out dated product sample of this Kitech F-16A in an empty office room. Thanks to my friend saved this kit for me or it is a pity to throw it into bin.

I was told that Kitech is crap which this kit may be a copy of Italeri product
however Kitech is unknown to me and I never compare it with other big brands, so I had a happy 5 days to build up this F-16A and it is not that bad quality really, the fitting is nice without big gap. However it provide no information of it's 2 kinds of decals. Perhaps they are both for USAF F-16A trainers.

Over all, Kitech isn't that bad!

F-16C "Barak"

by Michael Rieß



This kit from Italeri is just a reboxed Kinetic kit with many additional parts to build a nice model of an Israeli F-16C "Barak" in 1/48 scale.
I really enjoyed the assembly, although some filler was needed on the fuselage. I also destroyed some parts of the model (like the canopy), but i was able to repair them.
All in all i´m satisfied with the result, the silvering decals are a little bit annoying but i think it is still okay.
The details are nice and the kit itself costs about 20€.
I painted the model with Revell Aqua acrylic paints.
