Measuring in a whooping 1/48 Scale, Skill Level 3 (Age 14+)
and consisting of 140 pieces nicely packaged on part trees with little or no
flashing and super-detailed Hasegawa Hobby Kits F-16IQ Iraqi Air Force Fighting
Falcon Limited Edition fighter jet model kit is the bomb!
Designed to operate in hot and dry desert conditions the
Fighting Falcon (initiated in 2010 with a partial shipment in 2014) is a lean,
mean, streamline bullet of an aircraft that boasts some serious firepower.
A twin seat cockpit
is powered by a GE F110 power plant.
It's vastly superior aerial combat capabilities are enhanced by its
radar jamming capability and radar guided missiles.
Extra fuel storage allows the aircraft to stay in the air
longer to engage the enemy or perform air to ground attacks. Its larger dorsal fin and state-of-the-art
electronics have increased the weight of the aircraft but have little effect on
its firepower, flight and maneuverability. Additional weaponry includes superior
strafing capabilities.
Like all Hasegawa hobby Kits the Falcon kit is easy to
assemble, paint and decal if the enclosed instructions are followed.
The 1/72 Scale F/A-18E Super Hornet "VFA-27 Royal Maces
CAG 2015" Limited Edition model kit is considered a 'heavy hitter' of
Carrier Air Wing Five.
A descendant of over 50 years of Royal Maces service the
Super Hornet performs double duty: air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
With its 20mm cannons, wing armaments, twin cockpit, extra
fuel capability and powerful engine the Super Hornet fairly buzzes about the enemy
and delivers a sting few (if any) survive.
Display the aircraft model with wheels up or down, cockpit
opened or closed and with or without weapons.
No matter how you serve it, its an impressive model kit fashioned
after a equally impressive aircraft. Two
decal configurations are include.
Another 1/48 Scale aircraft model from Hasegawa Hobby Kits
is the Su-27 Flanker Ukrainian Air Force Digital Camouflage Limited Edition for
ages 14 and up.
Considered one of the most maneuverable fighter aircraft in
the sky the Flanker is one of only a few aircraft able to perform the
"Pugachev's Cobra": where the nose of the aircraft rears up and back
to vertical before lunging forward.
A cobra or rattlesnake have nothing on this aircraft!
Capable of speeds above Mach 2 the Flanker's superior
armament makes this twin tail fin and engine monster of the sky a snake ready
to strike!
Its long bowed fuselage allows the aircraft to perform maneuvers
that shame other similar aircraft. Fast,
agile and armed to the teeth the Flanker is impressive no matter how you stack
it.
