Novesky I wonder if a blk 50 falcon could be built out of this kit though...

Maciej Bellos A block 52 might be possible, the sprues seem to have the C tail base, the larger wheels, the bulged main landing gear covers, the C landing gear. For a block 50 you need the big mouth intake and the GE engine exhaust.

Novesky Thanks for the info, mate! A 52 is good enough and so I reckon it makes no difference between K48100 and K48102 in terms of sprues.

Maciej Bellos Looking at the sprues at the Britmodeller review, it seems everything is there for a Block 52. There is even an HTS pod to make a Wild Weasel aircraft (SEAD) so yes, in terms of sprues there is no difference between 100 and 102. Happy modelling and I would like your opinion on the build whenever you start it!
Cheers,
Maciej

Rhorta I'm not 100% sure, but I think the instructions are wrong for the Portuguese Air Force when it comes to the tail. The base of the tail of the PoAF is the ADF one. The parts for this tail seem to be on sprue B.
Rhorta I asked around and it basically depends on the serial number. For the one in the box (15115) in 2017, you need to use the ADF tail.
For the single seaters 15101 to 15177, use the ADF tail. Also, all Portuguese F-16s have the search light on the left side, like the Norwegian ones. The instructions don't mention this very clearly.

RODOLFO NATHANIEL ANGELES Oh, now I get what you mean. Yes, now I noticed it. Should be easy enough to do since all parts are there. You just need to shave off the bird slicers

Treehugger From what I read on their official site on internet, they seem to include a magnetic system for adding weaponry on the model, which seems nice and something of a novely I would think. Also said to be a new molds kit.
