Highly regarded as one of the world’s leading lightweight multi-purpose fighters, the F-16 Fighting Falcon is capable of precision attack during air-to-air and air-to-surface combat.
The success of the F-16 comes from its precision control, with aerodynamic body design combining with innovative electronic fly-by-wire technology for precision maneuvering at both low and high speeds, and low and high altitudes. Fitted with one single turbojet engine, the F- 16 has a top speed of over Mach 2.
Currently used by more than 20 countries around the world, the F-16 has been deployed to actual conflict since the 1980s including seeing action in significant conflicts such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Gulf War, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Here are the pictures of one of the finest models I have worked with. Everything you’ve read about this model kit is true. All I have left to add is a great build with little to no fixes required. Every part falls together with a jigsaw puzzle fit.
I love the fact that the kit’s box is also a storage box in case you need to transport it or simply to put it away for a while and use the shelf to display a new model. The kit comes with your choice of a clear or smoke canopy with beautiful rivet details.
The cockpit is filled with nice surface details and the ejection seat where many folks would rather go with a resin version, is not bad at all. Provided is a 1/32 scale seated pilot and photo-etched seat belts. The pilot you see here is from Verlinden stock #2173. (1:32 Modern US Fighter Pilot F15, F16, A10).
