We just passed through on the snowy road to Reno, you we have to feature the 1:72 scale Dragon Warbirds F-16B Fighting Falcon, Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, NAS Fallon for $26.98 from Model Warehouse.


This new item showcases the eye-catching markings of the NSAWC based at NAS Fallon Nevada. The scheme includes three shades of brown. The advantage of using the F-16 Fighting Falcon at NSAWC is that it presents a totally unique adversary to the standard F-14s and F/A-18s flown by the U.S. Navy

Main Features:
- 1st in the series F-16B!
- Unique three tone camouflage scheme
- 1/72 Authentic Scale
- High Quality Diecast Metal
- Historically Accurate
- Removable Weapons
- Detailed Cockpits
- Opening Canopy
- Moving Wing Flaps
- Pre-assembled
- Display In Flight or In Landing Mode

About this title:
The U.S. Army has its OPFOR, and so does the U.S. Navy – in the form of its F-16B Fighting Falcons! The Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) at NAS Fallon (near Reno in Nevada) fields a fleet of fourteen F-16A/B Block 15 fighters. These Fighting Falcons were part of an embargoed Pakistan Air Force order that spent many years in storage in the dry climate of Arizona. After being readied for flight again, they were dispatched to NSAWC in 2003 ready to take up dissimilar air combat training duties.
