F-16 'Thunderbirds'

ModelKid
A short unbox review and notes:

Box has the wrong EAN code printed on it (5903852020354).

Included instructions manual is a mess:
- lots of typos and errors
- wrong color codes
- erroneous color/markings illustration with wrong decal numbers

Sprues are the same as (similar to) Italeri models 840, 841 and 848 (see sprue names).

This model can be made into single or twin seater version (although there's only one pilot name and one crew name decal). These name decals are in the older design (see decal image).

The clear sprues are included twice for some reason. And the D sprue seems to include only parts (pylons, fuel tanks and weapons) that are not installed on the Thunderbirds' F-16s during shows.

Cons:
- bad instructions manual (especially the color and decal references)
- light grey sprues (instead of white)
- no pilot figure (even though the Thunderbirds helmet decal is included twice on the sheet)

Pros:
- full kit for single or twin seat build (maybe unintentional)
- spare set of transparent canopy sprues

There seems to be a another version with the same EAN, but very little information is given on the official website (mistercraft.eu/en/st..underbirds-1-48.html). This could be its predecessor or a rebox. Either way, the boxart is slightly different.
