Scale-accurate Tamiya 61101 - 1/48 Lockheed Martin F-16C Block 25/32 Fighting Falcon ANG Model Kit for dedicated builders  [61101]

Tamiya 61101 1/48 F-16C Block 25/32 Fighting Falcon kit overview

The F-16 Fighting Falcon has earned its place in modern air forces for agility and multi-role capability. The Block 25/32 versions brought key avionics and engine updates, commonly seen in service with U.S. Air National Guard units. This Tamiya model faithfully reproduces those features, giving hobbyists a precise platform to build a realistic representation of the jet.

Precision detail and true-to-scale components

The 1/48 scale assembly reflects accurate shapes and proportions. New parts model the Pratt & Whitney engine nozzle and the reduced-size air intake found on these blocks. Builders will notice carefully engineered main landing gear and gear well covers, while optional photo-etched reinforcement plates are available separately for extra realism.

Weapons, sensors and external loads

Finishers can outfit the model with an array of weapons and stores: AIM-9L/M and AIM-9X Sidewinders, AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, and GBU-12 laser-guided bombs with clear pieces for the laser seeker. The kit also provides wing and centerline fuel tanks and a LITENING II targeting pod for a combat-ready display.

Presentation and collector value

Assembling this kit delivers both a satisfying build and a detailed display model. The set includes a pilot figure plus three decal sheets with U.S. Air National Guard markings, letting builders personalise the final display.
