About product

The real subject

The F-16C Fighting Falcon is an American single-seat fighter. The pilot sits under a large bubble canopy with no frame over his head, so the view to the sides and to the rear is exceptional. The seat is markedly reclined and the controls are handled by a side stick on the right, not between the knees. For a model this has one consequence: the cockpit can be seen clear through, and every simplified shape in it shows on the finished piece.

What the set is for

The set replaces the cockpit fittings of an F-16C model in 1:48 scale. Injection-molded plastic has to simplify the shapes in the cockpit so that they can be drawn from the mold; replacement parts are not bound by that limit and therefore carry finer articulation and sharper detail in the place the viewer looks at most often.

Building and painting tips

The parts are not polystyrene, and ordinary plastic cement has no effect on them; use super glue. Cut the excess material off a little way from the part with a sharp blade and sand the remainder down carefully. Dry-fit the parts in the fuselage before gluing and adapt them a little at a time, because replacement cockpit fittings tend to be bulkier than the original ones and otherwise the fuselage halves will not close. Wash and degrease the parts before painting, otherwise the paint holds poorly. The specific preparation procedure for the parts is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Who it is for

The set is for modelers who build the F-16C in 1:48 scale with the canopy open and want a well worked cockpit. The kit, paints, glue and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Replacement cockpit fittings for an F-16C model in 1:48 scale. The kit, paints and glue are not included.

Super glue. The parts are not polystyrene, so cement for plastic models has no effect on them. Degrease the surfaces before gluing.

A replacement cockpit tends to be bulkier than the original part. Dry-fit it in the fuselage and take material away a little at a time until the fuselage halves close.

Yes, washing and degreasing always pays off. On an unwashed surface the paint holds poorly and flakes off during handling.
