Historical Note: Unbeatable museum quality best describes our handcrafted F-16A Falcon model airplane. After passing through the hands of master craftsmen, the parts are sanded and primed many times. Talented artists then paint on the intricate details with great accuracy. A final coat of clear lacquer protects the F-16A Falcon model and gives it a glossy finish. The F-16A Falcon model airplane comes with a handsome mahogany-based chrome pedestal, and to ensure that it is ready for delivery, it undergoes various stages of quality control before being placed in its box. The F-16A Falcon model airplane is perfect as an addition to a growing collection or as an exquisite gift to a loved one.
The F-16A is a single seat aircraft incorporating Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-200 turbofan. It was manufactured by General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin.
