Newbie Question - Is the Tamiya 1/48 F-16 the best fitting kit out there?

[keithinflorida]

I'm returning to modeling after a 30 year layoff and I'd be interested to hear from the way more experienced modellers on here if there are any 1/48th kits out there that fit together better than the Tamiya F-16? I'm halfway through mine and the fit is so perfect haven't yet needed any filler. Of course primer will reveal the true fit but right now it's looking perfect!

Erm, Keith i would say so, sure others will comment, but I have done a 1/48 version, also have the F16 Aggressor in the stash, but also in the process of doing the Tammy 1/32 F16...I haven't had any issues at all so far with both builds....I also have to say Keith, im loving your Flickr pics....superb, really enjoyed having a look at those.

Yes by far, excellent kits that are a dream to build

Just finished the 1/48 F16C block 32 and didn't use any filler on it at all. Also the engineering and fit of the kit is superb. A joy.

very nice flickr pics. Not sure about the 1:48 scale F-16 but as mentioned the 1:32 Tam F-16 is very nice.

oh and I just noticed, Keith, you are about an hour south of me. I remember when Palm Bay was forest and then they built that really huge blue water tank.
