Re: Dragon F-16I Sufa Conversion

The Dragon F-15E (or D?) would be a good base since it already have the CFTs mounted. Just need to add the appropriate weapons pylons/racks accessories. Please post that on here too when you have it completed. Thanks!
Btw, I'm still in awe of your F-16I Sufa. It's nice to have a unique a/c type in your collection and add to the display!

Thanks again flyXwire!

It's definitely unique and we probably won't see this from any of the diecast manufacturers any time soon. We got the idea to try this during the IPMS Nationals in Kansas City. I wasn't sure how well the resin would fit to metal but it shows it can be done.

Thanks for the comment skids...Unfortunately since the Sufa is Israeli, which for some reason seems to be a no-no, I doubt we'll see one done by a diecast company anytime soon.

That takes a chic's jet and makes it look like a a** kicking machine. I wonder if the USAF will adopt some of these fatures. Nice conversion!!

If Easy Model will make one, I'll be all over it even if it's plastic!

Yeah, that's really a shameful state of affair. Although Witty does make a couple of pretty good Israeli F-16s, but not like yours, which is truly great and different.

Thanks for the comment FVD...I looked at picking up Witty's Israeli F-16 and F-15 but for some reason can't make myself pull the trigger. Do you have either one of them? What are you thoughts if you do? I did get their Israeli Spitfire and am pretty happy with it.
