Product Description

A special limited edition set of three 1/72 scale F-16 models commemorating the release of Heller's completely redesigned and newly molded F-16.

[About the actual device]
The F-16 fighter jet was developed for the U.S. Air Force and is deployed in countries around the world.
A key feature of the aircraft, which made its maiden flight in 1974, is its blended wing body design, which integrates the fuselage and wings into a single unit.
Furthermore, the aircraft attracted worldwide attention for its practical application of a fly-by-wire control system, which was innovative at the time.
It began operation in the United States in 1978, but since then, it has undergone repeated improvements and updates, and even today it maintains and delivers the latest functions and performance.
Furthermore, with the aim of maintaining its performance over the next 10 to 20 years, we will implement mid-life upgrades (mid-term modifications) and MLU programs.
They have maintained that ability and continue to achieve even greater success.

[About the model]
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit that recreates the F-16 Fighting Falcon operated by NATO forces.
- Heller's new molds are used to model the Midlife Update (MLU) version of the ship.
This kit includes parts for three aircraft.
The model consists of 99 parts, with a finished length of 200mm and a wingspan of 130mm.
The aircraft's smooth shape is realistically reproduced, adopting the blended wing design of the F-16.
• Details such as panel lines are also modeled in great detail.
In addition, we have prepared parts for the IFF antenna on the nose, the short tail equipped with ECM on the rear of the fuselage, and the long tail equipped with a drag chute.
Furthermore, you can choose to assemble the model in either a parked state with the landing gear extended or a flight state with the landing gear retracted.
In addition, the kit includes weapons such as missiles. It comes with AIM-9X, AIM-9M, and AIM-120 missiles, as well as 300-gallon and 370-gallon drop tanks.
The markings include five types from aircraft of NATO member countries.
