Tamiya has announced the addition of the F-16CJ (Block50) Fighting Falcon to the 1:72 War Bird Series. The aircraft was developed in the mid-1970s by the General Dynamics company to be relatively low- cost, and a lightweight design featuring innovations such as wing/fuselage blending proved such a success that the aircraft has stayed in production even today with various updates and modifications. Some 4,500 have been manufactured.
This model depicts a post-2010 aircraft with CCIP upgrades.

Includes parts to accurately recreate AMRAAM missiles.
The canopy is rendered accurately using a slide-moulded one-piece part and three marking options are included.
