Italeri 1/72 F-16 C/D Night Falcon - accurate scale model for display builds

The Italeri 1/72 F-16 C/D Night Falcon kit captures the profile of the well-known F-16 series in compact scale. Its operational history across NATO and allied air forces, including crews from Denmark, Norway, Holland and Belgium, alongside users like Egypt and South Korea, offers a range of authentic paint and marking options.

Role and operational notes

Developed through international collaboration, the F-16 is noted for flight agility and avionics upgrades. The Night Falcon tweak focuses on night operations, highlighting the platform's flexible mission set across theatres.

Kit quality and construction notes

Components are crisply moulded with defined panel lines that suit 1/72 displays. The build is engaging without being overwhelming, and the model accepts aftermarket upgrades for those who want finer cockpit or external detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Length: 21 cm
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit contains decals for several marking variants so you can model different national or squadron finishes straight from the box.
A careful paint job brings out the panel detail. Use thin coats, masking for sharp demarcations, and subtle weathering to enhance realism.
Cockpit detail is adequate for closed-canopy displays, though adding decals or painted instrument faces can lift the finished appearance.
Work on a clean surface, use tweezers for tiny pieces, and dry-fit parts before gluing. A little modelling wax on the tip of clippers helps prevent stress on thin sections.
