The F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American multirole jet fighter aircraft developed by General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market, serving 24 countries. The F-16 is the largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since production started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the US Air Force, it is still produced for export. The Fighting Falcon is a superb dogfighter with innovations including a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. It was also the first fighter aircraft to be deliberately built to sustain 9g turns. It is also one of the few jets with a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, giving the Falcon excellent acceleration. Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta. Academy's small scale kit is easy to build, complete under-wing stores, landing gear and an accurate decal sheet to make a beautiful scale model. Review: Gave as gift. - Was told that he loves his Jet !!! Review: desertcart's window is advertising model as a 1/48 scale but actual size is 1/144 - false information - I did not like the model sent because it is the wrong size a advertised on (desertcart'S WINDOW) it shows 1/48 as actual model but it really is a 1/144 scale. I am including more info that previously written. I will never, ever buy anything from desertcart again. I was expecting a full refund on the model that I had purchased and then I only get a partial refund. I will spread the word that doing business with third party vendors does not guarantee good service. If this was the first time this happened then maybe I wouldn't be so hostile but this is the second time this happens. So, I am sorry this happened because I was a very good customer (close to 10 years). I will take my business to MegaHobby, HobbyLinc or another hobby shop. So for now, it was good while it lasted... ## Features - Fully engraved panel lines - Under-wing stores - Rear exhaust nozzle detail - Landing gear - Comprehensive decal sheet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006O07DA | | Age Range (Description) | All | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Kit | | Brand | Academy | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (21) | | Date First Available | October 2, 2001 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00603550044366 | | Included Components | Under-wing stores, landing gear, comprehensive decal sheet, model kit | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 4 x 2.73 x 1.36 inches | | Item model number | 4436 | | Manufacturer | Model Rectifier Corp. | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Material | Plastic | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 2.73 x 1.36 inches | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Academy F-16 Fighting Falcon | | Size | Small | | Special Feature | Portable | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 603550044366 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All - **Brand:** Academy - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4 x 2.73 x 1.36 inches - **Material:** Plastic - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![F-16 Fighting Falcon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61L7pVTG2tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gave as gift. *by V***T on January 7, 2025* Was told that he loves his Jet !!! ### ⭐ Amazon's window is advertising model as a 1/48 scale but actual size is 1/144 - false information *by R***S on October 25, 2021* I did not like the model sent because it is the wrong size a advertised on (AMAZON'S WINDOW) it shows 1/48 as actual model but it really is a 1/144 scale.
