Tamiya 60786 - 1/72 Lockheed Martin F-16CJ Block 50 Fighting Falcon  [60786]

Tamiya 1/72 Lockheed Martin F-16CJ Block 50 Fighting Falcon Model Kit

The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon stands as a legendary single-engine multirole fighter aircraft, initially developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Originally designed to achieve air superiority during daylight operations, it has evolved into a versatile all-weather multirole fighter. The F-16's legacy is underscored by over 4,500 units produced since its introduction in 1976.

Tamiya continues to honor this aviation icon with its latest offering—the 1/72 scale model of the F-16CJ Block 50. Following successful releases in larger scales, this version maintains the brand's commitment to detail and accuracy, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists with limited display space but high standards for realism.
