Which kit for a 1/72nd F-16C Blk 30?

I'm in the mood to do one of the Aggressors from the Two-Bobs sheet #72-002. They are a Block 30/32 F-16C with the Pratt F100 engine. Which kit do I need to use for this type of "Dart"? I have the 1/72nd Hasegawa F-16C #603, will that work?

 

Thanks,

Use either the Revell AG 50/52 or the identical Monogram kit. The parts for both the NSI/F100 and the MCID/F110 are included in the kits. These are perhaps the best multi-task F-16 kits in 1/72 scale, the only thing they lack are the proper bulged MLG doors for the 50/52!

 

Kit numbers:

 

Revell AG 4633

Monogram 85-5309

 

If you can't find either of those (and they can be hard to locate), the Hasegawa F-16CG/CJ kits (00169, 00631, 00448, 0370) will get you there. Kit 00603 is a Block 25 out of the box. Be sure of which inlet/exhaust combination the airplane you want to model had--some Block 30's were a mish-mash of MCID/F100. There used to be a great website that detailled the differences at http://www.habu2.net/vipers, but it seems to have gone U/A in the past year or so....you might inquire at ARC.
