Safety Warning Small Parts, not for children Review: Really nice model from Tamiya as usual - I've been working on the F-16 on and off over the last month and it is a really nicely manufactured model, still in the sealed plastic packaging that Tamiya send these out in and all parts/decals/paperwork was in the box with no damaged parts/pieces. I've seen no issue with excess sprue or messy mould lines on the parts and everything goes together really nicely with minimal adjustment needed to live up parts properly. I have attached a few pictures of the build progress, this isn't fully completed yet (still some mask/paint around cockpit etc) that needs to be cleaned up and finished off but just to give a general idea of how the model looks during building and (almost) final product. Review: Tamiya Lockheed Martin F16C Fighting Falcon. - Well! I brought this kit to fill a little time as it is the last aircraft I can say that I have any association with. What a kit it is, the detail is very very good but sometimes the assembly sheet explanations are just a little difficult to understand but that comment is just a niggle, but something I think you as a perspective buyer of this kit should be aware of. However read once...read twice..fully understand what you have to do..if not read again. It is so important not to approach this kit with the expectation of a final result in a matter of hours. This kit is worth every second of the time you will spend assembling it to achieve a great result. Number two grouse... and it is an expensive one, the cost of the paints involved. If you intend to just assemble and not paint then this would not affect you but if you intend to paint your model then you have to add the price of the various paints to you final bill. For those who do this if it is done well then it will be worth the extra money, I have gone this route and spread over a couple of months (due to to my slow assembly time) you no doubt like me will absorb the cost.

Assembly required - As with all of Tamiya's models - see Gizzer's review. You need to glue it together (glue not included), paint it (paint not included) and apply decals (included). **Q: Could you pls advise if the miniature is delivered assembled? If not, how many pieces the model includes? Thanks** A: As the others have said you have to assemble and paint it your self, glue and paint isn't included. Not sure of number of parts but over 200. Quality is excellent, I think this is the best F-16 in this scale. **Q: what scale is this model** A: It is 1 : 48 (the model is roughly a foot long) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice model from Tamiya as usual *by S***G on 9 November 2024* I've been working on the F-16 on and off over the last month and it is a really nicely manufactured model, still in the sealed plastic packaging that Tamiya send these out in and all parts/decals/paperwork was in the box with no damaged parts/pieces.

D. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic kit, with very good fit for the pieces. *by P***S on 18 April 2024* This was a great model to spend some time on. The fit and connection of each of the pieces in very precise and needed very little whittling to get into place. the decals provided had great detail and really added a great finish to the model. I really liked that you had the option for the tinted canopy or the standard. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya 61098 1/48 Lockheed Martin F-16CJ Plastic Model Airplane Kit - Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml - Rustark 9Pcs Gundam Model Tools Kit Hobby Building, Repairing and Fixing Set for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48416283-tm61098-lockheed-f-16cj-falcon-model-kit](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48416283-tm61098-lockheed-f-16cj-falcon-model-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
