Cybermodeler has the Israeli F-16C Barak in-box review today. http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/kin/kit_kin_48012.shtml

Philp, so far Kinetic has not got anything in 1/72nd scale.

I picked that one up (yeah I know, big surprise eh?)  Unfortunately there are mistakes on the decals - fin flash background is bright blue instead of black, and the Lion insignia is supposed to be "sided" ala RAAF and RNZAF roundels.  I'm talking to some decal vendors for replacement decals at the moment.

Does anybody do that new F-16 in 1/72?  I'd love to whiff it into a USN strike fighter but I just don't dig 1/48 scale  :angry:

Not that I'm aware of.  CMK do some conversion sets, but they cost a fair bit more than the kit itself.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Yes, for a 1/72 F-16I Sufa, CMK is your best bet at the moment. CLICKY! Until Academy will release their F-16I.

While the CMK set is expensive, you get poo-poo-loads of stuff in there. Apart from the Sufa lumps and bumps, you get CFTs, a complete upper forward fuselage to convert the Academy single-seater, an intake and engine nozzle, a fin to work with the spine, a resin cockpit with seats, Eduard pre-painted photo-etch and decals for Israeli Sufas. All in CMK's patented, much too small box. :rolleyes: :lol:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Now I wonder who will be the first to go and purchase the Collectaire C-2 Greyhound and kit bash it with the Kinetic Hawkeye. 

Sure would be nice to see an actual injection molded C-2 Greyhound kit or at the very least a conversion kit for this Kinetic Hawkeye.   Still have visions of an MC-2 Hawkeye carrier capable special operations aircraft performing MC-130 type missions for the Navy and Marine Corps.  :^)

Pretty sure I read on ARC that Kinetic see no real problem with issueing a C-2 later if there is big enough demand for one.

Cybermodeler posted an in box review of the 1/48th E2C a couple of days ago. http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/kin/kit_kin_48013.shtml
I know quite a few here have already got theirs but for those that don't I figure the sprue shots are worth a post.

Cybermodeler has details of the July releases in the US from Kinetic. E-2 Hawkeye 2000 & EA-6B in 1/48th and the F-16I Sufa in 1/72nd. http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/news100419a.shtml
The Sufa is scaled down from the 1/48th kit with over 200 parts, including Israeli weapons, and I want some!
