1 Top Falcons 117 US SUPERSONIC FIGHTER 1:48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT intro The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a world-wide known multirole jet fighter aircraft. Originally was developed as an air superiority day fighter by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). The production was launched in 1976, the type was accepted by USAF in 1979 and more than 4,0 aircraft have been built. Despite of the fact that USAF stopped the purchase of this airplane, improved versions are still being built for export customers. The Fighting Falcon is a fighter that featured many innovations. The most interesting are a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, a seat reclined 0 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a fly-by-wire flight control system. The F-16 has a fixed, forward firing M61 Vulcan cannon and has eleven hardpoints for various missiles, bombs and pods. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is widely used by its pilots.beside the U.S.A. many other NATO countries adopted F-16 as the multirole jet aircraft. You can see Falcons with national insignia of following NATO countries - Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, Greece, Poland. Italy, another type operator, retired its F-16s a while ago in May, In addition to active duty USAF, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also used by the USAF Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team and as an aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy. Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center was the unit that operated F-16As in very interesting aggressor camouflage schemes. This kit offers these schemes in three variations. The colourful mix is topped with a sleek white-red Viper flown by Brig. Gen. R. L. Engel from Edwards AFB. úvodem F-16 Fighting Falcon je celosvìtovì známým stíhacím letounem. Pùvodnì vznikl jako stíhaè pro vybojování vzdušné pøevahy v konstrukèní kanceláøi koncernu General Dynamics na základì objednávky amerického letectva (USAF). Výroba zapoèala v roce 1976, v roce 1979 byl typ pøijat do výzbroje USAF a do souèasnosti bylo postaveno více než 40 exempláøù. Pøestože USAF již pøestalo tento letoun nakupovat, pokroèilé verze se nadále vyrábí pro zahranièní uživatele. F-16 pøinesla øadu novinek. Mezi nejzajímavìjší se øadí bublinovitá kabina zajiš ující lepší výhled, knipl umístìný na stranì kokpitu pro snazší manévrování, sedaèka sklonìná pod úhlem 0 pro eliminaci pøetížení, které pùsobí na pilota, a použití systému fly-by-wire. F-16 jsou vyzbrojeny pevnì montovaným šestihlavòovým kanonem M-61 Vulcan a na jedenáct závìsných bodù lze zavìsit rùzné typy raket, pum a dalších speciálních podvìsù. Oficiálním názvem letounu je Fighting Falcon, nicménì mezi piloty se rozšíøila spíše pøezdívka Viper. Kromì Státù se typ uplatnil v letectvech mnoha èlenù obranné aliance NATO. Spatøit je mùžete v markingu tìchto zemí Belgie, Dánsko, Nizozemí, Portugalsko, Norsko, Øecko, Polsko. Další uživatel, Itálie, vyøadila své F-16 nedávno, v kvìtnu V U.S.A. se F-16 ocitly ve výzbroji USAF, Air Force Reserve Command, jednotek Národní gardy, ale také létal u akrobatické skupiny Thunderbirds èi v roli Aggressorù u amerického námoønictva. Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center mìlo ve svých øadách nìkolik F-16A ve velmi zajímavém zbarvení, které imitovalo letouny nepøítele. V této stavebnici vám je pøinášíme ve tøech podobách. Kamuflážní barvy tìchto strojù pak ve výbìru doplòuje elegantní bílo-èervený stroj brigádního generála R. L. Engela ze základny Edwards.

13 A version A Block 15AM OCU, s/n , NSAWC, NAS Fallon, Falcon s/n was manufactured in 1992 as a part of the aircraft ordered by Pakistan. Along with other Falcons it was handed over to the U.S. Navy, and reached the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center at NAS Fallon in The two-tone grey camouflage was replaced with a desert one. The markings of NSAWC aircraft were quite simple, consisting of the unit badge on the fin, the bort number and unit s name abbreviation on the lower fin. Through the passage of time, the color and appearance of some of the stencil data changed. Falcon s/n opustil výrobní linku v roce 1992 a byl jedním ze strojù urèených pro Pákistán. Stejnì jako další F-16 jej po uvalení embarga pøevzalo americké námoønictvo. V roce 2002 se objevil ve stavu Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center na základnì Fallon. Pùvodní dvoutónový šedý kamuflážní nátìr byl nahrazen nátìrem v pouštních odstínech. Oznaèení strojù NSAWC je pomìrnì prosté. Skládá se ze znaku jednotky na svislé ocasní ploše, trupového èísla a zkratky názvu jednotky na kýlové ploše pod zádi trupu.

14 B version A Block 15AR OCU, s/n , NSAWC, NAS Fallon, Pakistan had ordered and paid for a total of 111 F-16A/B aircraft, but 71 of these were embargoed due to Pakistani nuclear trials that were performed. Only 28 of the embargoed aircraft were built and these were directly sent to David-Monthan AFB for storage. Some years later, in December 2002, nearly all of them were handed over to the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center. This unit thanks to the popular 80 s Hollywood 'Top Gun' is based in Fallon AFB, Nevada. The camouflage scheme of all three NSAWC aircraft in this boxing is of the so-called 'Aggressor scheme', and is painted on aircraft performing the aggressor role in mock combat. Pákistán v U.S.A. objednal a zaplatit celkem 111 F-16A/B. Èást byla do Asie dodána, 71 z nich však postihlo embargo na dodávky zbraní, které bylo reakcí na pákistánský jaderný program. Postaveno bylo 28 z tìchto 71 objednaných strojù. Putovaly pøímo k uskladnìní na Davis-Monthan AFB v arizonské poušti. Zde stály øadu let, než se pro nì našlo uplatnìní. V prosinci 2002 jej pøevzalo Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center. Tato jednotka, zvaná též po kultovním snímku Top Gun, sídlí na letecké základnì Fallon v západní èásti Nevady.

15 C version A Block 15AM OCU, s/n , NSAWC, NAS Fallon, The journey of this aircraft to the NSAWC was not so straight forward. It was stored in the Nevada desert till January, 200 when it found its way to Edwards AFB, California as a part of 416th FTLS. It spent nearly two years at this Air Force Base. In November 2004, it was handed over to the NSAWC and finally ended up at NAS Fallon. The camouflage scheme was changed to the three-tone one. Photographic evidence suggests that the inscription 'NAVY' was painted on the fuselage as well as 'MARINES' later on. The camouflage colours faded with time and the whole appearance of the aircraft became interesting with the accumulation of fresh paint patches. Zobrazený stroj mìl ponìkud pestøejší osud. Po uvalení embarga na vývoz do Pakistánu jej v lednu 200 pøevzala 416th FTLS pùsobící na základnì Edwards v Kalifornii. K NSAWC na základnu Fallon se letoun dostal až po témìø dvou letech, v listopadu Zde dostal kamufláž složenou ze tøí odstínù šedé barvy. Je fotograficky doloženo, že na høbetì trupu nesl jak nápis NAVY, tak pozdìji též MARINES. Kamuflážní barvy postupem èasu bledly a opravy nátìru provádìné èerstvou barvou daly stroji zajímavý vzhled.
