## Description

(Block 50) Modern USAF fighter-bomber optimized for Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) missions. Kit accurately represents blended wing body design, optional position canopy and flaperons, pivoting stabilators and pilot figure with standard or JHMCS flight helmet. Also includes weapons and accessories: HARM, AMRAAM and Sidewinder missiles (M and X variants), detachable external fuel tanks, ECM pod and HTS pod. Decals for 3 aircraft, including the 5th Air Force commander's plane, Misawa airbase, 2005.

Review: Configurable and true to spec - This kit is complex with many small parts. The fit of the parts is excellent and the model comes with different options depending on the block you are trying to replicate. The paint scheme is quite variable on an F16 depending on the role it is used in. The most common version used by the Air Force and National Guard has a metallic dull finish and this is addressed in the instruction sheet. Some applications are painted a dove gray or a medium gray. You choose the version you like.
Review: Phenomenal kit! - Yes, this kit indeed comes from Japan. It may indeed take a month to ship. Patience might be necessary. However, this kit is so good it makes it well worth the wait. I have recently finished building the kit, it is a modeler's dream. I only had two areas i needed to fill and even that I was able to repair by adding tamiya extra thin cement to the gap and refitting the parts. This kit almost puts itself together. The detailing is gorgeous and crisply scribed, not too deep, not too soft. Everything about building this airframe was enjoyable. It comes with a nice selection of armament, decals and parts for three different planes, full maintenance stencils, and is worth every penny. It is really a very very nice kit. Tamiya did an amazing job, I would recommend this kit to anyone interested in the F-16. Another nice touch is the includion of polycaps for the underwing fuel tanks and centerline pods and for the tail to make the entire assembled model easier to transport to, say, a show. It is not a simple kit, though, being so detailed, so don't expect it to be a snap-tite revell intended for a child. All the sprues are molded in light grey, and it comes with two full canopies: one clear and one tinted for radar absorption, check your references to see which your build uses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT FIR FIRST TIME BUILD
*by R***N on April 13, 2025*

It's an easy build, parts very good but a small bit of filing. The illustrations for assembly are sometimes difficult to follow. I always sit back and think.
