Academy 12259 1:48 F-16A/C Fighting Falcon

One of the key factors in modern combat aircraft is versatility. A plane that can serve in a variety of roles can drastically reduce the cost of operations of any air force by limiting the number of components needed for maintenance. The nimble General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is just that machine. The F-16 has become one of the most successful combat planes in history. Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in grey. The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail. Highly detailed cockpit interior, landing gear, and landing gear bay. Contains the optional parts to build either the -A or -C versions. A full complement of underwing missiles dresses the craft quite nicely. Clear plastic canopy allows close inspection of cockpit.
