1/144 F-16 HIGH SPEC SERIES vol.1 FIGHTING FALCON - F-TOYS 

F-Toys new strategy is made clearer with this release: Simplify the range and produce many colour variants.
So, ideal if you like the subject chosen a bit underwhelming if not your thing, and lets hope lets hope the subsequent series don't end up being F-15s, F-4,F-2,F-35 and V-22s etc...

1/144 F-16 "High Detail" F-Toys




1/144  F-16  "High Detail"  F-Toys 

The translation is a bit wooly, though it appears F-Toys have announced they are to "pause" the Wing Kit Collection  after the VS collection, and/or start producing a set of "High Detail" models (that wont be available via confectionery stores - so, through model hobby stores?)

Radjapan has confirmed (check out their new items):

The F-Toys blog says wing kit collections will take a break for a while. They use the word,”Take a break” about the Vol.15. So the Vol.15 could show up someday. 

F-Toys is also planning on releasing new series and they call it “High-Spec series” (something like Gimix). The High-Spec series Vol.1 is F-16 Fighting Falcon. They will come out next January or so.

So F-Toys goes with “VS series” and “High-Spec series” in the future.

1/144 F-16C/D Block 52+ Advanced - Foxone


1/144 F-16C/D Block 52+ Advanced - Foxone

Foxone has slipped a couple of F-16 C / D Variants out under the radar.
I do not know much about these but both come with Hellenic (Greek) Airforce schemes even though wiki suggests that Poland and Pakistan also use similar aircraft ( see wiki here ) and a wider choice of decals might have helped sales?

1/144 F-16I 'SUFA' - Foxone Models



1/144 F-16I 'SUFA' - Foxone Models


The F-16I is a two-seat variant of the Block 52 developed for the Israeli Defense Force – Air Force (IDF/AF). Israel issued a requirement in September 1997 and selected the F-16 in preference to the F-15I in July 1999. An initial "Peace Marble V" contract was signed on 14 January 2000 with a follow on contract signed on 19 December 2001 for a total procurement of 102 aircraft. The F-16I, which is called Sufa (Storm) by the IDF/AF, first flew on 23 December 2003, and deliveries to the IDF/AF began on 19 February 2004. The F-16I has an estimated unit cost of approximately US$70 million (2006).

The F-16I's most notable difference from the standard Block 52 is that approximately 50% of the American avionics have been replaced by Israeli-developed avionics (such as the Israeli Aerial Towed Decoy replacing the ALE-50). The addition of Israeli-built autonomous aerial combat manoeuvring instrumentation systems enables the training exercises to be conducted without dependence on ground instrumentation systems, and the helmet-mounted sight is also standard equipment. The helmet-mounted sight, head-up display (HUD), mission computer, presentation computer, and digital map display are made by Elbit Systems of Israel.

Furthermore, the F-16I is able to employ Rafael's new Python 5 imaging infrared-guided high-agility air-to-air missile.

The F-16I also has the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI)-built removable conformal fuel tanks (CFT) added to extend its range; removal takes two hours.

Key American-sourced systems include the F100-PW-229 turbofan engine, which offers commonality with the IDF/AF's F-15Is, and the APG-68(V)9 radar.


This should soon be available from Radjapan and HLJ.

1/144 F-16E & F-16F Fighting Falcons - Foxone

1/144 F-16E & F-16F Fighting Falcons - Foxone
Resulting from the poll on his blog Foxone set about creating another set of excellent looking  kits
 http://foxone2.blog53.fc2.com/blog-category-75.html

Each kits consist of 48 resin and clear parts, and both come with two decal schemes each, pilots are available separately.

This first batch is is an interesting set of kits as they appear currently to be exclusively used by the UAE (as the USA chose the F-15SE instead), furthermore according to press reports quoted by Flight International, this is "the first time the US has sold a better aircraft [F-16] overseas than its own forces fly"

I suspect there could be further variants of this kit produced, certainly by offering different variants and decal options to then the sales of this kit would be greater .

1/144 - 1/72 Gear Puzzle Set? (updates






I do not know anything about these and as far as I can determine the yahoo.jp auction doesnt indicate who is manufacturing these items?

Although it is a mixed set - 1/144 Aircraft and 1/72 Armour which in itself is slightly strange!

Part of me is inclined to assume it may be a Dragon/Doyusha reissue or repackage?
(except who did the Mig-29?)

*** Update ***
It becomes apparent these are not really models, but low quality Puzzle Kits!!


Part of this is on the basis there is
1/144 F-117 (Secret, but obvious from the silhouette)
1/144 F-14 Tomcat
1/144 F-16 Falcon
1/144 Mig 29
plus some 1/72 tanks (pah!, who cares about those!)

A slightly amusing point is that the pictures and text for the Mig and Falcon are swapped over?!
