I'm curious to see who you think makes the better F-16C. I have a few of the Dragons and like them. Is Witty any better?

[David Hingtgen]

Concerning quality or accuracy? Accuracy-wise, it's kind of D- vs D+. They're F-16's, but a total mish-mash of variants and parts across numerous blocks and decades of production. The closest to correct one is Dragon's Wolf Pack model AFAIK.

(ironically, Dragon has all the parts to make VERY accurate F-16's of nearly every major variation----they just tend to use many parts ONLY in their F-16A's, despite the numerous C's that need them--and they're lacking 1 key late-build "C" part)

Well...if they are both inaccurate...which one is just nicer to look at until a better one comes along if it ever does? Is Witty's Thunderbird nice?

I thought the closest one is the Dragon F-16C 2001 Tiger Meet. The intake shape is correct for both the F-16 block for Wolf Pack and 2001 Tiger Meet but the engine or nozzle is different on the two models.

I like it... it looks like a F-16 - but I'm not near as nit-picky as some 'round these here parts.

Valkyrie---there's so many (too many) Tiger Meet ones from Dragon. Which one exactly are you referring to? Also, if there's one that has the same intake as the Wolf Pack, but a different engine, then it cannot be correct.

The Tiger Meet of the Americas (from Shaw) might be correct.

I was referring to the 2001 one. Is there more than one? I think it's 50008.

EVERYTHING! The weapons, pilot, speed brakes, gear options all of it!

Bandit, what do you mean?

So far, I have not come across the Witty Thunderbird in the local stores. While I like to do a comparison with the real planes, I understand that the diecast models are a general representation and are unlikely to be 100% accurate. I am fine with it and will get those I like whether they are accurate or not. If only they make the following :
