1/32 Tamiya F-16CJ BLK 50 Fighting Falcon 60315

The F-16 Fighting Falcon model maintains the ease of assembly featured by all of the models in our 1/32 Scale Aircraft Series and boasts the high level of detail and accuracy for which Tamiya is known around the world. This model has given our designers the opportunity to incorporate a number of modeling ideas and innovations that would not have been possible on a smaller 1/48 or 1/72 scale.

This is the first ever 1/32 scale F-16 model to replicate the characteristic large air intake duct. nicknamed “Big Mouth”. The F110-GE-129 jet engine is also replicated in precise detail and can slide into place on a hook-and-rail system exactly like the actual aircraft. The entire engine can also be displayed outside the aircraft using the included cart.

This model achieves a level of accuracy only possible in such large-scale work. The upper surfaces of the wings are molded to the main body of the plane in one single piece. creating a “Blended Body” which artfully depicts the F-16’s beautiful. streamlined form and proportions. The model features a screw-mounted main body and die-cast landing gears with actual rubber tires for extra durability.

This model makes use of the newly developed mini poly caps to ensure that missiles. ECM pod and external fuel tanks are removable and interchangeable even after assembly. This way. modelers can enjoy depicting different weapon configurations specific to various F-16 missions. The use of poly caps also enables trailing edge flaps. horizontal stabilizer fins and vertical tail fin flaps to move freely after assembly.
