Description

Piece together your own F-16 Fighting Falcon with this 375-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s Armed Forces Collection, this set contains all the blocks needed to construct the first version of the American fighter to ever take flight.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American supersonic jet that was first flown in 1974. Despite being over 45 years old, the aircraft is still in service with the US Air Force to this day, having been constantly upgraded and improved. It has also been purchased by dozens of other countries around the world. F-16s played major roles during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 with 249 fighters engaging in combat, and the aircraft later fought in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The F-16 is capable of traveling at an incredible top speed of 1,353 mph, or Mach 2.05, which is nearly twice the speed of sound. It can carry a large variety of missiles and bombs. Missiles include air-to-air, air-to-surface, and anti-ship, while bombs range from laser-guided to nuclear.

This 1:48 scale model features the 1974 version of the F-16 with movable wing flaps, a cockpit that opens, and wheels that function when the plane is rolled. A pilot minifigure and display stand are also included. Perfect for aviation and military enthusiasts ages 8+, this set brings the Fighting Falcon to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 12.2” long, 8.7” wide, and 4.3” high. ~Alex

F-16 (YF-16) First Flight 1974 - a unique edition of the iconic aircraft that has been defending the skies of dozens of countries around the world for 50 years. Its first flight took place on February 2, 1974. We decided to recreate the prototype's characteristic paint scheme and a figure as a tribute to the test pilot!

With 375 of the highest quality COBI construction blocks you can build the world's most popular fighter-attack aircraft F-16® FIGHTING FALCON®, released under the license of the Lockheed Martin arms mega-concern, in the colors of its first flight in 1974! The set has been carefully designed in a modeling scale of 1:48. The blocks have been covered with high-quality prints. The US Air Force emblems look great on this colorful model. The pilot's cabin made using two-color injection technology is a confirmation of COBI's high quality construction techniques! The set includes a pilot figure in a very characteristic suit, equipped with a helmet and an oxygen mask with a hose. The whole set is complemented by a block display stand with a plate containing the name of the set, the national flag, the scale and the Lockheed Martin logo!

Thanks to the intuitive instructions, construction is simple and will not cause problems for less advanced builders.
