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.
