9. Tamiya Lockheed Martin F-16 CJ

The F-16 Fighting Falcon's ability to handle difficult Sead (Suppression of Enemy Air Defence) missions makes it one of the cornerstones of today's US Air Force.

The aircraft's enormously diverse capabilities were further enhanced by the CCIP programme, which added night fighter functionality and more to the F-16.
