When I purchased kit, electric retracts were not an option. I am not aware of anyone making after market electric conversion for this kit. The pneumatic retracts are working properly. Incidentally I believe 4 or 5 scale-jets F16s just competed at the Jet World Masters.

Yes, in photos some of their F16i sufas are very dirty. What technique are you using to weather yours?

The best ever technique is to use regular black or dark charcoal spray primer and microfiber cloth with 98% alcohol, spray small amount of paint on the alcohol wet cloth and apply it on the surface with the desired amount, if too much just wipe it off, I’m going to remove some of the camouflage paint with 1500 wet paper to create some fading areas just like the real thing , the 107 it’s a very old f-16 and the only one that shoot down most enemies doing the war
