Art. Description: 1:48 US F-16C

Since the late 1970s, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, produced by the American company General Dynamics, has become a true icon of military aviation. Originally developed to meet the U.S. Air Force's need for a modern and efficient single-seat fighter for daytime operations, the project evolved into an all-weather multi-role combat aircraft with extraordinary operational flexibility. The F-16 is characterized by its distinctive bubble-shaped cockpit canopy, which provides the pilot with exceptional all-around visibility. Additionally, the F-16 is equipped with innovative solutions such as a side-mounted control stick, "fly-by-wire" technology, and modern avionics systems for flight and combat. Valued by pilots for its optimal maneuverability and reliability, it is armed with an M61 20mm Vulcan cannon. Thanks to various mounting points, it can carry a wide array of offensive armaments, including missiles and bombs. The F-16 has been used by countless air forces around the world and has conducted a significant number of missions, often with great efficiency.
