Hasegawa 1:48 F-16F Fighting Falcon

Hasegawa reissued their F-16D kit with some new-tool sprues to render the Israeli Air Force's F-16I Sufa ( look here). It was clear from examining those sprues that we'd be seeing other interesting variants in our future. Sure enough, we have the ultimate Viper - the F-16F. This release is molded in the standard light gray styrene and rendered on eighteen parts trees, plus a single tree of clear parts. The surface detailing is scribed, but the detail is a bit soft in comparison with the more recent Tamiya and Kinetic 1/48 Viper kits. The kit provides all of the parts for a standard Block 52 F-16D that we've seen before, but also includes the six parts trees new for this release and a few parts trees that were introduced into earlier late-block F-16 updates. There are other trees still that are in the box for one or two small parts, but leave lots of left-overs for your spares box.
