Duke Hawkins F-16 Fighting Falcon

Developed in the early 1970s as a day fighter, the F-16 has become a potent multirole weapon as comfortable striking ground targets with precision munitions as tangling with enemy fighters. With more than 4,600 built and serving in a variety of camouflage schemes in 29 countries, modeling F-16s is a fun and rewarding exercise. If you plan on building a Fighting Falcon, grab a copy of Duke Hawkins Aircraft in Detail 002: F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The premium 108-page softcover book is anchored by sharp photos of the F-16’s inner workings, including the fuselage, intake, wings, cockpit, landing gear, tail, speed brake, engine, ordnance, and countermeasures. There are also sections running down the variants as well as showing the aircraft undergoing maintenance and in action with more than 20 air forces around the world.

As with the other books in this series, clear informative captions accompany the stunning photographs and it’s all reproduced on heavy glare-reducing paper. This book is 108 pages of glorious inspiration for your next dozen F-16 builds.
