Description

Following more than 1 year of research and design, Tamiya is
proud to present our most detailed ever 1/32 scale aircraft
model, setting whole new standards in large-scale aircraft
modeling. Following on from our highly praised 1/32 scale F-4
Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle, Tamiya now releases the
F-16 Fighting Falcon to our 1/32 Scale Aircraft Series. Boasting
more detail and accuracy than any other 1/32 scale F-16 release,
this amazing model brings a whole new pleasure to modeling,
combining Tamiya?s unbeatable quality and accuracy with
innovative modeling technology.

About the F-16 Fighting Falcon

Highly regarded as one of the world?s leading lightweight
multi-purpose fighters, the F-16 Fighting Falcon is capable of
precision attack during air-to-air and air-to-surface combat. The
success of the F-16 comes from its precision control, with
aerodynamic body design combining with innovative electronic
fly-by-wire technology for precision maneuvering at both low and
high speeds, and low and high altitudes. Fitted with one single
turbo jet engine, the F- 16 has a top speed of over Mach 2.
Currently used by more than 20 countries around the world, the
F-16 has been deployed to actual conflict since the 1980?s
including seeing action in significant conflicts such as the
Arab-Israeli conflict, the Gulf War, Kosovo, Afghanistan and
Iraq.

About the F-16CJ (Block 50)

Delivered to units from August 1991, the F-16 Block 50 is the
newest F-16 currently being deployed to U.S. units. Major
upgrades added to the Block 50 were a more powerful turbo engine,
an improved radar and an improved countermeasure system. Fitted
with a General Electric engine, the fuselage features the
distinctive wide ?Big Mouth? air duct that was first introduced
on the Block 30. The Block 50 variant, the F-16CJ, comes equipped
with AGM-88 HARM (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile) and
AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System (HTS), and are used for SEAD
(Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) missions, which include
searching out and destroying air-defense radar and missile sites.
F-16CJ were delivered to units from May 1993, and were used
during Operation Iraqi Freedom and patrol of the no-fly zone over
Iraq following the Gulf War.
