I like these both but favor the second one. The color combo (as well as the execution of it) looks spectacular! Great job!

Great looking ones! Polish perhaps more.. Still so special to see the Polish insignia on US made planes... Not use to that yet! :-)

And euhm, must admit, but I have sort of missed to recognize this modernised version of F-16, that extra squarish "backpack" makes it look so different to the roundish, flat original F-16. And not sure yet, if I like the original version more or this modern one...

Nevertheless, well done builds both of them!

Would be interesting, purely of curiosity, any bigger differencies between Hasegawa versus Kinetic ?

What looks better, a clean Adversary or Tigermeet or a full packed F-16I, I dont know, next will be older versions, like both..

What is the difference between the kits:

not all versions are possible to build from one firm, so you have to choose

Italeri:F-16A/B/AM..not so expensive, newer one with nice Decals, fit is ok, but the details are not so good and the cockpit/ Landinggear bay is poor detailed, the landing gear makes a nose up position, can be adjusted, only min. external load

Hasegawa: lot of versions, good fit but poor details of cockpit and Landinggear bay ; only min. external load

Tamiya: only F-16C Block 25 to 50; not the legendary Tamiya fit, but best fit of all F-16, good details, only limited decal versions, good external loads

Academy: Copy of Hasegawa, only F-16A and early C, bad fit, poor details..

Kinetic: nearly all versions, good details, a modern weapon set with a F-16 in one box, crispy surface and a lot of parts, not so easy to handle but my favorit
