Tamiya 61098 - 1/48 F-16CJ Fighting Falcon Collector Grade Model  [61098]

Introducing the Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ Fighting Falcon kit

The F-16CJ Fighting Falcon is a SEAD specialised derivative of the F-16C Block 50, heavily used by the United States Air Force in operations such as those over Iraq. The platform is capable of precision night and all-weather strike missions, supported by advanced digital electronics and radar equipment.

Features, loadouts and assembly tips

This 1/48 Tamiya kit reproduces the F-16CJs sleek lines and bubble canopy, which may be modelled open or shut. The kit also offers movable horizontal stabilisers and flaperons. Weaponry options include HARM, AMRAAM and Sidewinder missiles, together with external fuel tanks and pods for ECM and HTS functions.

Construction and customisation

Builders will find a rewarding project with precise parts and several options for personalisation. The pilot figure accepts either a conventional helmet or a JHMCS helmet, and decal sheets allow the modeller to represent three different aircraft liveries.
