L/F 1/72 F-16B, or rather part of one

I am looking for the canopy and surrounding upper fuselage of an F-16B or D for that matter. Preferred Manufactures would be Hasegawa, Revell or Italeri

Willing to pay for the parts and postage if reasonable

I have had a good root through my F-16 parts for you Gondor, and the ones I have are both single seaters, as I have built the only 2 seaters I have. I think I have some spare canopies, but the kits manufactures I am not so sure about.

I may have a 2-seater Alastair.

As the F-16 isn't exactly my most fave aeroplane I'm sure the bits you need would be surplus. I'll have a look in The Loft in the morning and see.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

All else fails, I might be able to find something in my stash, though shipping from the USA would likely be steep (ask Kiwizac what shipping one 1/72 A-7 canopy ran me - surreal!).

You need an F-16 A/B or C/D kit probably Italeri based or cloned as they have both single and two-seater options

Yes, I should have said that spare parts from either an A/B or C/D kit would be ideal unless the kit is a parts donor and the two set cockpit area and canopy are undamaged.

I've looked all over The Loft, and elsewhere in the house and can't find a sign of that F-16B. Sorry Alastair.  :-\

I did find lots of other things I'd forgotten I had though.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
