About product

F-16A Fighting Falcon 1:72

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American light fighter aircraft F-16A in 1:72 scale. The set belongs to the manufacturer's simplified range, the parts are generously broken down and the total comes to around fifty, so the build is quick and straightforward. The finished model measures roughly 20 cm and has a span of about 13.5 cm. The early version with the smaller air intake is the one modeled.

The real subject

The F-16 was created in the 1970s as a light, low-cost counterweight to the big and expensive fighters. It was given a single jet engine, a bubble canopy with a view in every direction, a reclined seat and fly-by-wire controls, that is, an electrical system that continuously stabilizes the aircraft. The A version was the first production single-seat variant and you can recognize it by the smaller air intake and the shorter dorsal spine. The aircraft became one of the most widespread fighter types of all.

Building and painting tips

With generously broken down parts it pays to check the mating surfaces and sand them if needed, as the joint will then need less filler. Finish the cockpit before you close up the fuselage, and mask the canopy with precut masks or with narrow tape. The gray American scheme stands out when you lay the shades in slightly different tones panel by panel and then even the whole out with a thin coat of the base shade.

Who the model is for

  • Beginners and modelers who want a quick build.
  • Collectors of modern fighters in 1:72 scale.
  • Builders who want to try modern gray camouflage.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
