Take the challenge to build the ultimate Phantom model or extend your knowledge about the McDonnell Douglas design!

In this 100+ pages publication by EagleAviation, the modeler will enjoy around 420 photographs that cover the entire famous jet including the external details, the cockpit, the radar, the avionics, the engines and engine bays, maintenance panels as well as various weapons used. Photos from the jet’s new upgrades such as Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs) and F-16D dorsal spine are also included.

As it is designed to be the modelers’ best guide for the F-16, a lot of panoramic and close up photos revealing interesting and less photographed angles of the jet are included. Additional photos regarding F-16’s CFTs as well as ordnance in service with many Air Forces around the world such as AIM-120C, AIM-9M, AIM-2000 IRIS-T, GBU-24/10, AGM-88 as well as AGM-154C JSOW can also be found in this magnificent photo manual.

The book is by no means an exhaustive F-16 variant guide. It is rather a superb reference photo manual including block 30, 50, 52 as well as 52M examples in service with the Hellenic (Greek) Air Force. However, as these versions / blocks are in use with a large number of Air Forces globally it can act as a unique reference book for every modeler (and not only!) wishing to build a truly detailed and accurate F-16 in scale. Brief captions instead of long text boxes are located in selected parts of the book in an attempt to maximize the available space and include as many photos as possible.

A great addition to any F-16 fan across the globe!
