Tamiya 1:48 F-16C Block 32/52 Thunderbirds

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of American fourth generation turbo-jet fighter in 1:48 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows you to build the American Thunderbirds F-16 C fighter, with the pilot. Thunderbirds is a group that has been operating since the early 1950s, focusing on the best aerial acrobats of U.S.A.F. Since 1992, pilots have used the F-16C, first Block 32 and since 2009 Block 52, with a better engine. These planes are devoid of combat features and are equipped with smoke generating units.
