1:48 F-16I Sufa - Big Sin Set for GWH

The real subject

The F-16I Sufa is the Israeli two-seat variant of the F-16 fighter. You will know it from the single-seaters by its lengthened cockpit with two seats and by the fairing along the fuselage spine behind the cockpit, in which further equipment is stowed. Also characteristic are the conformal fuel tanks hugging the sides of the fuselage, which leave the pylons under the wing free for weapons. The machine is thus adapted for long missions over a great distance.

What the set is for

The set belongs to the Big Sin range, that is to the group of add-on sets for one particular model. Which parts of the model it covers, how many parts it holds and in what order they are fitted is given in the manufacturer's instructions; read them right through before building, because some of the parts go in before the fuselage is closed.

Fitting the set into the build

The add-ons are fitted during the build, not afterwards onto a finished model. Try the assembly dry first and only then glue it; the seating place usually needs slight adjustment in the plastic of the kit, because the add-on part is dimensionally more accurate than the opening it is meant to drop into. Work on the small parts with tweezers and set them aside in a dish. The choice of glue, the preparation of the surface before painting and the way of fixing the parts are described in the manufacturer's instructions.
