Hobby Master 1:72 HA38014

Pakistan's first order for F-16A/Bs consisted of 111 aircraft but because of Pakistan's growing nuclear capability the U.S. became very concerned and 28 aircraft were withheld and flown directly to AMARC when they were completed. These aircraft were offered for sale to other countries but there wasn’t interest shown so they USN and USAF put them to work as aggressors. Pakistan wanted the aircraft or their money back. With Pakistan assisting in the war on terror Pakistan was able to get 18 aircraft. F-16A 84705 was assigned to 11 Squadron "Arrows".

Lockheed F-16AM Fighting Falcon
Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976.
