Detailed 1:48 scale F16C [Block 32/52] US Air Force demonstration team
“Thunderbirds” model kit.
In 1953, the Thunderbirds were formed as an Air Demonstration Squadron. From
1984 the F-16A was used, but in 1992 they had changed to the F16 C model.
Every year from March through to November, the Thunderbirds perform about
40 times at various air shows throughout the world and America. Through these
aerobatic performances, the Thunderbirds do the publicity work of the American
Air Force, promoting international friendship. In November 2007, it was decided
to put the new Block 52 F-16 into use as of 2009, instead of the Block
32 F-16.
- Length 316mm assembled
- In addition to the already in use Block 32 F-16, you can assemble a Block
52 as well.
- Smoke generator pipe is attached to the jet nozzle, just like the actual
aircraft, and an exclusive newly-developed pilot figure is included.
- Crisply recreated markings allow depiction of the colorful Thunderbirds
livery.
- The 60 year anniversary decals are also included.
- In addition to the 2007 specifications, Block 52 No.1 markings are also
prepared.
This plastic kitset requires assembly, glue and paints to
