Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA3897 Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon Diecast Model USAF PACAF Viper Demo Team, #92-3894, Komaki AB, Japan, 2019. Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon. The USAF PACAF Demonstration Team is comprised of two F-16 pilots, a demonstration pilot and a safety observer as well as eight maintainers that are handpicked. On March 2, 2019 at the JASDF Komaki Open Base Air Festival F-16 92-3894 was flown by team Commander pilot Capt. Primo took command in 2018 to begin his two year Viper Demo Team assignment. F-16 92-3894 had previously spent time with the 13th FS during “OIF” where it flew 21 missions. 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 multirole 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. Hobby Master’s 1:72 scale F-16 is constructed using an intelligent mix of diecast metal and plastic, which allows for the greatest possible detail. Among this model’s most remarkable features are an articulating hinged opening canopy that closes with almost no visible gap and landing gear that has been constructed as subassemblies for easy configuration. It also includes a large number of pad-printed flight instruments and a rudder and engine intake that are accurately replicated in plastic. The models in this series cover early variants to the most advanced later variants featuring conformal fuel tanks as well as both single and two seat variants. Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series.
