MOC-187679 F-16 Fighting Falcon 1:35 Scale (v2) clamping blocks

Designed and authorized by DarthDesigner, this F-16 Fighting Falcon (v2) set is inspired by the American Active Fighter. The product has undergone multiple revisions and tests to ensure a reasonable, robust structure and an excellent building experience.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American single-engine supersonic multi-role fighter aircraft. Originally designed as a daytime air superiority fighter, it has evolved into a successful all-weather multi-role aircraft. Over 4,600 units have been produced since its introduction in 1976. Although the United States military (USAF) no longer purchases the aircraft, improved versions are still produced for export.

The Fighting Falcon's key features include a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility from the cockpit, a side-mounted control stick for easier maneuverability, and a 30-degree tilted ejection seat to reduce the effects of G-forces on the pilot. It was the first aircraft to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system, which improved its agility. The F-16 is equipped with an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and has 11 hardpoints for attaching weapons.

The F-16 is used not only by the USAF, Military Reserve Command and Air National Guard, but also by the USAF Thunderbirds Demonstration Team and the USAF Air Combat Command's F-16 Viper Demonstration Team. The US Navy also uses it as an adversary/aggressor aircraft. The armed forces of 25 other nations have also procured the F-16. In 2023, it will be the most widely deployed fixed-wing aircraft in the world, with 2,145 operational F-16s.
