Response to Norwegian F-16A weapon load

F-16AM MLU Major problem with Kinetic kit are : droping nose shape while F-16 have a straight one and pants that son't fit together very well. Panel lines and rivets are also quite deep and a couple of coats of surfacer would be needed to take care of them. Most of the antennas are also way too thick for the correct scale effect. Kit should come with it's own instruction sheet. Norwegian Vipers used Penguins with A and B versions only. The MLU varian can't carry Penguins any longer due to new radar. Normal weapons load for anti shipping missions for A was: 2-4 AIM-9L, 2 Fuel Tanks, 2 Penguins 1 ECM pod(under fuselage)- MLU use 2 AIM-120C at wingtips, 2 AIM-9L, 4 Paveway, 2 tanks, ECM pod and Pantera/Sharpshooter laser pod. If you need to know more contact me off board. Cheers Paolo
