About product

F-16A MLU Fighting Falcon cockpit set 1:48 (Aires)

The resin detail set F-16A MLU Fighting Falcon cockpit in 1:48 scale from the Aires company. This is not an airplane model but a set for experienced modelers that replaces the cockpit from the base kit with a faithful resin cockpit tub with an instrument panel, side consoles and an ejection seat. The package tends to be complemented by photo-etched parts with the belts and small parts. The abbreviation MLU (Mid-Life Update) denotes the modernization program that brought the single-seat F-16A closer to the later versions in terms of avionics and cockpit.

The real subject

The General Dynamics (Lockheed Martin) F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine multirole fighter with a characteristic reclined pilot's seat and a bubble canopy with an excellent view out. The F-16A version is the original single-seat form; after the MLU modernization it received newer instrumentation and a new cockpit interface.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the parts, separate them from the casting blocks and bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); protect your airways when sanding resin. Apply a primer, spray the paints with an airbrush in thin coats and pick out the instruments and the displays with a wash, a dry brush and decals according to the instructions. Before the fuselage is closed, check the fit with the particular kit.

Who the set is for

  • Experienced modelers of modern multirole fighters
  • Builders of the F-16 in 1:48 scale with an interest in interiors
  • Anyone interested in the modernized MLU version

This is a resin detail set, an accessory for a kit and not a standalone model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Mid-Life Update is the modernization program that gave the single-seat F-16A newer avionics and a reworked cockpit interface.

No. It is a resin detail cockpit set with which you replace the cockpit in a base plastic F-16 kit.

Bond both the resin and the photo-etched parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate); first wash the parts free of mold release agent and separate them from the casting blocks.
