Lockheed F-16BM;'Fighting Falcon Viper';Royal Norwegian Air Forces/n691Reg.FN-KDiecast Model 1/72 Scale Jet
The Lockheed F-16BM Fighting Falcon Jet
Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multi-role aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976.
[Note: these 1/72 scale aircraft models are very close to the same size as 1/48 scale 2nd WWII aircraft models at approximately 8 inches wingspan. This is because the size of modern jet aircraft is comparatively large compared to the 2nd World War aircraft.]

Collectors' Hint - What are my choices with Model purchasing and collecting?
It is the nature of the Space and Aviation market that Space and Aircraft Models and Kits of importantspace or aviation flight vehiclestend to be limited in production and sell very quickly. An example are the premier diecast models like these.
All production 'runs' are limited with no guarantees that there will be more.Consequently they become Limited Editions in their own right.
Some models may be 're-launched' on significant anniversaries.
I suggest when an opportunity presents itself, make the decision for your model collection and act!
