1:32 F-16I Sufa
#12105

The Israeli F-16I "Sufa" fighter, a specially developed potent
aircraft, started life as a Block 50/52 F-16 and was given an
extensive increase in fuel capacity, as well as upgrades needed
by the IAF. The Sufa (it means Thunderstorm) is easily
recognizable by the distinctive conformal 600 gallon fuel tanks
that give the aircraft a range of up to 1000 miles, enough to
cover the entire Middle East region including Iran. It is
equipped with both American and Israeli weapons. Its radar, the
Northrop Grumman APG-68, is also more advanced than any other in
the IAF fleet. The F-16I is also equipped with the Synthetic
Aperture Radar system and Litening navigation pod, giving the
F-16I all-weather, day and night attack capabilities. It also has



internally mounted FLIR (forward looking infrared) viewers and
Israeli state-of-the-art systems hardware.

To accurately reproduce this special aircraft, Academy made many
modifications to its award winning 1/32 scale F-16 with extensive



retooling for additional parts and upgrades. Weapon systems
include the GBU-31 (V)3 and AGM-130, Python 4, and GBU-38. Photo
etched metal parts have been added throughout the fuselage along
with a turned brass Pitot tube. Naturally, a kit of this
precision and quality should only be completed with the accuracy
of a Cartograf decal sheet.
