A fresh Flagship for Tamiya's Aircraft Model Series
Within the last three years our 1/32 Scale Aircraft Series has gained an evergrowing collection of contemporary armed forces aircraft models, including the F-4 Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle. Tamiya now proudly adds the F-16 Fighting Falcon for this distinguished lineup, offering our most detail by detail ever 1/32 scale aircraft model, and setting completely new criteria in large-scale aircraft modeling.
Regarded as among the world's leading jet fighters, the F-16 battling Falcon is currently used by above 20 nations, and contains served in real combat because the 1980's. The F-16CJ Block 50 variant may be the newest F-16 becoming implemented to U.S. units. Significant upgrades to your Block 50 included a far more effective turbo General Electric motor, AGM-88 DAMAGE (High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile) and targeting system. The F-16CJ is employed for "Wild Weasel" SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) missions, such as searching out and destroying radar and missile sites.
The F-16 battling Falcon model maintains the ease of assembly showcased by all associated with the models within our 1/32 Scale Aircraft Series, and boasts the high level of detail and precision which is why Tamiya is well known throughout the world. This model has given our developers the chance to integrate several modeling a few ideas and innovations that would not have been feasible on a smaller 1/48 or 1/72 scale.
This is actually the very first ever 1/32 scale F-16 model to reproduce the characteristic big air intake duct, nicknamed "Big Mouth". The F110-GE-129 jet motor is also replicated in accurate information, and that can slip into place on a hook and rail system exactly like the particular aircraft. The entire motor may also be displayed outside of the aircraft utilising the included cart.
This model achieves an even of accuracy just feasible such a large-scale work. Top of the surfaces associated with wings are molded to the primary body of the airplane in one single piece, producing a "Blended Body" which artfully depicts the F-16's stunning, streamlined type and proportions. The model features screw-mounted primary human body and die-cast landing gears with actual rubber tires for additional durability.
This model makes use of the newly developed mini poly caps to ensure missiles, ECM pod and outside fuel tanks are removable and interchangeable despite set up. In this way, modelers will enjoy depicting different weapon designs specific to different F-16 missions. Utilization of poly caps also allows trailing edge flaps, horizontal stabilizer fins and straight end fin flaps to maneuver easily after set up.
Pitot tube and fixed dischargers are reproduced making use of metal components, and photo-etched parts are employed for chair buckles, radar antenna, chaff/flare dispensers and name-plate adding to the models realism and display value. This same painstaking attention to detail led us to include an ejector chair fitted with a moveable slip rail, similar to the actual aircraft. Curved bubbletop canopy features range of clear or smoked canopy, and can be put together in the great outdoors or shut position. 1 detailed pilot figure normally included. Gun hatch and nose cone may be opened after assembly to show device weapon and radar system respectively and steel weight was put into nose for accurate front-rear weight circulation. Featuring decals to create around 4 various variations, including tiger design utilized during "Tiger Meets" and markings for F-16s whom travelled SEAD missions over Iraq, the list of fantastic features is truly endless. We guarantee that perhaps the most fanatical aviation fan are going to be truly happy.
