They're fixing to re-release it as a Gold Kit with new parts and decals.

The Kinetic kits are later F-16C types. The ones that the IDF used in Bekaa Valley and the Iraq reactor strike were the early F-16As with the smaller stabilators. I have this kit for mine

Carlos, do you recall a Revell kit (maybe Monogram?
) that featured an F-15 and a MiG, perhaps the -25? Man, it's just a shadowy memory but it seems that I saw one at Kings Hobby in Austin, many years ago.

Yes I do! It was their F-15 and Mig-25 pairing. I have that one in my stash as well. It was the only way to get the Mig-25 for many years.
They also did a twin kit of their F-4J with a MiG-21 in Linebacker era markings. I don’t have that one. IIRC, the Phantom is in VF-114 markings.

Very cool twin kits - I bet the F-15/Mig-25 combo was in a big box.
I've always fancied building an IDF F-16 two-seater (was it a B or D) in the mock USAF markings used in Iron Eagle.

Yes it is a pretty good sized box. More in depth/height than width & length… like having two stacked on top of each other.

Man I remember those combo kits.
