The ACE, Kangnam and Revell of Germany F-16XL kits are based on, and a combination of, the Hasegawa and Revell 1:32 kits and are dreadfully inaccurate for an XL, primarily because none of the XL fuselage plugs are added, and the F-16A fuselage length is unchanged. As a result the fuselage length is too short, and the wing planform is woefully undersized for an XL. The kits include the extended parabrake housing.

For more information on how to correctly model the F-16XL, see this IPMS article.
