F-16C Big Mouths Block 40 Part III

There you are, minding your own business when not one, but TWO companies release state of the art, late-model F-16C Fighting Falcons (AKA Viper). The Tamiya Viper is an F-16CJ Block 50. There are no parts present for other options out of the box, but there are hints of other variants to come. Academy's Viper will build either a Pratt or GE-powered F-16CG or F-16CJ, that translates into Blocks 40, 42, 50 and 52. The Tamiya kit comes with some breathtaking engineering. If the Academy kit is anything like their recent F/A-18C, then the fights on!

Whether you build one or the other (or both!), you're going to need some options unless you want your prize Viper to look like everyone else. TwoBobs to the rescue! You just know they weren't going to leave this subject alone!

In this set, we have two PACAF Block 40 aircraft to choose from. The first is the 8th Fighter Wing's airshow aircraft stationed at Kunsan AB, South Korea. The second is also an Kunsan bird from the 35th FS.

The two aircraft in this set are:

• F-16CG Block 40, 89-2013, 8 FW airshow aircraft, 2002
• F-16CG Block 40, 88-015, 25 FS/8 FW, 2002

Maintenance stencils are provided for one example on a separate sheet not shown here. An additional decal is provided in the set containing the now-famous "Let's Roll" logo that is worn by the wing's demo aircraft. The large wolf's head on the Kunsan demo bird is an excellent break from the tiger heads that have been carried on the Shaw birds.

If you're going to be adding one or more of these beautiful Tamiya/Academy Vipers to your scale flightline, then you'll definitely want to get this set as well! This set is highly recommended!
