REVIEWER: | Scott Van Aken |
NOTES: | For most 1/48 F-16 kits. |
One the the newest bits from Royale Resins is this F-16 antenna upgrade set. If you are wondering why we might want this, there are a couple of things to consider. When you get a kit with antennas, the one thing they often do not include is a mounting base. You simply get the antenna to stick into a hole or it is molded in place. Not very realistic.
This set includes a corrected and super detailed radome, as well as corrected and super detailed antenna fairings for any F-16 kit except Tamiya. The antennas will fit without modification. While the radome was designed with the Hasegawa kit in mind, it can be made to fit any kit with slight modification.
The set comes with superb step by step instructions for all the various bits and pieces. This includes photos of the parts in place, a most handy reference.
