TwoBobs has turned out another interesting set of markings
for the F-16C, this time for the 194 FS Griffons of the California
ANG at Fresno, CA. Two examples are provided, both are Block
25 Vipers.
At present, the only option for a Block 25 aircraft is the
Hasegawa kit as it represents the narrow-mouth, Pratt-powered
aircraft nicely.
The Academy kit can render a Block 40/42/50/52,
which means it has a narrow-mouth intake and Pratt nozzle
option. The main gear doors would need to be obtained from
a Hasegawa kit or from an aftermarket set as the kit doors
are bulged (not present on Block 25/30/32 aircraft. The landing
lights would have to be relocated to the main gear from the
nosegear door as well. While there are a few other tweaks required
to backdate the Academy kit, it isn't that hard.
The Tamiya kit would take more time and money to backdate
as none of the Pratt-powered parts are provided in this kit.
The two aircraft in this set are:
- F-16C Block 25, 84-1318, 194 FS, CA ANG, 2005
- F-16C Block 25, 85-1404, 194 FS, CA ANG, 2005
Maintenance stencils are provided for one example.
This set will definitely look great on your Hasegawa Viper and is highly
recommended!
