Tamiya 61102 F-16C Thunderbirds

 

In 1953, the Thunderbirds were formed as an Air Demonstration Squadron. From 1984 the F-16A was used, but in 1992 they had changed to the F-16C model. Every year from March through to November, the Thunderbirds perform about 40 times at various air shows throughout the world and America. Through these aerobatic performances, the Thunderbirds do the publicity work of the American Air Force, promoting international friendship. In November 2007, it was decided to put the new Block 52 F-16 into use as of 2009, instead of the Block 32 F-16. In addition to the already in use Block 32 F-16, you can assemble a Block 52 as well. Smoke generator pipe is attached to the jet nozzle, just like the actual aircraft, and an exclusive newly-developed pilot figure is included. Crisply recreated markings allow depiction of the colorful Thunderbirds livery. The 60 year anniversary decals are also included. In addition to the 2007 specifications, Block 52 No.1 markings are also prepared.
