Summary of the Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ Fighting Falcon

The F-16CJ Fighting Falcon is a specialised SEAD variant of the F-16C Block 50, operated extensively by the United States Air Force, including sorties during the Iraq campaign. The aircraft is equipped for precision night and all-weather operations, using modern digital avionics and radar systems to carry out its role.

Model specifics and assembly highlights

Tamiya captures the F-16CJs streamlined form in 1/48 scale, including the clear bubble canopy which can be fitted open or closed. The kit features movable horizontal stabilisers and flaperons, and provides an array of weaponry such as HARM, AMRAAM and Sidewinder missiles, along with external fuel tanks and ECM and HTS pods.

Build considerations

The model offers a rewarding build experience with detailed parts and several customisation choices, including helmet variants for the pilot figure. Three marking options are included so modellers can recreate different historical aircraft finishes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Includes: Pilot figure, multiple weapon systems, detailed decals
  • Assembly: Glue required

What makes the F-16CJ different from standard F-16C kits?

The F-16CJ is outfitted for SEAD with specialised sensors and weapon options. This kit reflects those mission-specific fittings and offers the relevant pod and weapon choices.

Can the model be displayed in an armed configuration?

Yes. The kit provides multiple armament and pod options so you can display the aircraft loaded for SEAD missions or configured for other roles.

Are there options for cockpit detail?
