1:48 AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo

Post by Cherrylock »

is it exotic, maybe only 131 build, looks like a F-16 on some points, not a copy General Dynamics was part of the design team

the kit is very nice to build

The F-16 family resemblance is there. But the twin engines and intake configuration sure set it apart. I’m surprised that General Dynamics never went with such a design when they pitched the F-16 against the F/A-18 to the Navy. The single engine of the F-16 was considered a weak point of the design for survivability during carrier based operations in that competition.

That is a beautiful build CL! :shoutout:

Certainly is very similar to the F-16. I have debated whether to pick it up for my stash. Looks like I’ll have to add it to my wish list. Well done, CL! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

Sure has the genes of the F-16. Nice looking bird and a good looking build!
