J-16 Cockpit

[rdelaney]

Recently, at a club swap meet, I bought the Hobby Boss 1:48 J-16 strike fighter kit. I wonder if anyone out there can answer a question for me: Does the J-16 have flight controls in the rear seat? This kit does. Perhaps this was repeating from the Su-27UB kit. 

Any help in this area would be most appreciated. Thank you for your attention.

Good question...... after Googling "J-16 rear cockpit images", there doesn't seem to be any pics that show one way or the other. Unless you can find some other references, I'd simply go with the model as molded unless you can wait to start the model when you can get accurate info. Sorry I'm not more helpful. Hopefully someone else with better knowledge will be along soon!

Hi Bob,

Have you reached out to Andreas Rupprecht on Twitter (@RupprechtDeino)? That guy is the the most knowledgeable person outside of China regarding PLA aircraft.
