Hasegawa Plastic Model Kit
Hasegawa F-16I Fighting Falcon Israeli Air Force (1/72) HAE34
The Hasegawa F-16I Fighting Falcon Israeli Air Force is a highly detailed 1/72 scale plastic model kit of the advanced F-16I “Sufa”, one of the most capable multirole fighters in Israeli service. This edition accurately reproduces the distinctive appearance of the F-16I, including the unique external modifications that set it apart from standard Fighting Falcons.
The kit includes newly moulded parts for the conformal fuel tanks, enlarged dorsal spine, revised vertical tail and additional antennas fitted to operational Israeli aircraft. Hasegawa’s precision tooling provides finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, realistic undercarriage and excellent overall fit, making it an enjoyable project for modellers of all experience levels.
A comprehensive decal sheet provides markings for aircraft of both the 119th Squadron and 253rd Squadron of the Israeli Air Force, allowing builders to recreate one of the world’s most advanced combat aircraft in authentic operational service.
