Hobby Master 172 HA3822 Lockheed F-16I Sufa, IDF/AF 201st (One) Sqn, #878, Hatz

1:72 Scale Length Width Lockheed F-16I Sufa 8.25" 5.25" The first 50 Lockheed F-16I Sufa (Storm) for the IAF arrived with tail numbers in the 400 series and were assigned to the 119th and 253rd Squadrons. The 52 aircraft of the second wave came with tail numbers in the 800 series. In July 2006 the 107th Squadron (Knights of the Orange Tail) received their first F-16I's followed by 4 more aircraft two months later.

The 107th Squadron was formed in 1953 equipped with Spitfires. The F-16I has CFTs (Conformal Fuel Tanks) and a dorsal spine avionics compartment.

Lockheed F-16I Sufa Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976.

Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-16 is constructed using an intelligent mix of diecast metal and plastic, which allows for the greatest possible detail. Among this model's most remarkable features are an articulating hinged opening canopy that closes with almost no visible gap and landing gear that has been constructed as subassemblies for easy configuration. It also includes a large number of pad-printed flight instruments and a rudder and engine intake that are accurately replicated in plastic. The models in this series cover early variants to the most advanced later variants featuring conformal fuel tanks as well as both single and two seat variants.
