Need Witty Comments On Falcons

I am interested in WW's F-16 Falcon. In particular I want the Thunderbirds version. Is it accurate? Does it have any terrible faults? I have nearly all of the DW Falcons and I like them but I really want a Thunderbird to go with my Corgi Blue Angels Phantom.

Re: Need Witty Comments On Falcons

Here is the one i have...It not bad i just wish they painted the tail area a little darker red to match it a little better.
You can see it in the picture here.

Re: Need Witty Comments On Falcons

I can't speak to any inaccuracies with the mold and the variants its supposed to represent. However, I think Witty does make what is perhaps the nicest 1:72 F-16 -- I have two, which you can see here:

Photo Album

The fit/finish are excellent -- only drawback to me is the fixed gear -- but I get around this by parking 'em and using the Witty F-16 stands for my Dragon Vipers (Now, if only I could take the Witty pilots and put them in the dragon...)

Re: Need Witty Comments On Falcons

...but I really want a Thunderbird to go with my Corgi Blue Angels Phantom.

I'm really hoping that someday in the not-so-distant future I'll be able to replace my two Crapgi Blue Angels Phantoms with some decent ones.

I was almost going to pull the trigger on that Witty Thunderbird 'til I noticed the little non-removeable alien in the cockpit is wearing a conventional flight suit and helmet...What the hey is up with that anyway?

Yeah, but I wanted to be more specific about the Thunderbirds version and possibly capture the Wittier crowd. See - I already got photos and more specific information here!
I think I'm gonna need to get this one and repaint the pilot or remove him! Any good deals out there?

He's just the test pilot.

Re: Need Witty Comments On Falcons

Anybody have one of the Sunstar/Air Command T-Bird F-16s to make a comparison over the WW T-Birds? I saw the S/AC T-Bird F-16 when Martin of TFM showed it to me from his shop back in 2004 and I thought it really looked very nice.
