F-16 Assembly Model Development Update

Hi everyone,

As some of you following our social media may already know, work on the F-16 has officially started.

Our goal is similar to what we set out to do with the F-15, but this time we really want to take things to the next level. We learned so much from designing the F-15, and that experience has given us the confidence to push further with this project — more movable features, more sophisticated screw connections, and an overall more refined design.

We're already pretty far along. We've established almost all of the mechanisms and moving parts we want the jet to have, and first versions of those mechanisms have already been designed. We've also finalized the screw connections, and we're working to hide almost every screw head — the goal is that you won't be able to tell the model is held together with screws rather than glue.

Right now we're deciding on the exact versions of the F-16 we'll be producing. We're leaning toward two versions — an F-16AM Block 15 and an F-16C Block 50/52 — though nothing is fully locked in yet. To support this, we're designing interchangeable components so that a single kit lets you choose which version to build.

On the decal side, we're planning multiple decal set packages, so you'll be able to choose one specific to your country, and we may even offer some special-mission decal sets as well.

It's still difficult to give a firm preorder date, since the testing phase can be unpredictable in length — but we'll keep you updated as things move forward.

Thanks for reading!
