New Airfix 1/72 F-16A Starter Set
CHRIS CLIFFORD greets an old friend in the shape of Airfix’s original 1/72 F-16, now re-released as a Starter Set
Modellers of a certain age will doubtless remember Airfix’s F-16A/B from 1982, which allowed the building of a single- or twin-seat Fighting Falcon.
I, along with many other Cold War jet fans, spent happy hours assembling and painting what was one of my favourite aircraft at that time. It looked so futuristic that it captured my imagination intensely, and I loved the fact that you could build it with one or two seats. I had not actually laid eyes on the kit’s parts since then, until this re-released Starter Set (A55312) hit the keymodelworld desk.
