The F-16 Fighting Falcon, produced by the American company General Dynamics since the late '70s, is a real icon of military aviation history. It was originally developed, according to the needs of the United States Air Force, to provide a modern and effective single-seat air superiority day fighter. However, the project has progressively evolved and created an all-weather multirole aircraft able to have extraordinary operational flexibility. The F-16 is characterized by an original design easily recognizable by the frameless bubble canopy, which guarantees great visibility to the pilot. The F-16 adopted innovative solutions such as the side-mounted control stick, the "fly-by-wire" control system, and modern avionics to enhance flight and combat performances. The kit enables you to rebuild the "Cockpit" of the famous "Falcon," which incorporated innovative design features at the time of its introduction to the US and NATO fighter squadrons.
