Description

The ultimate adversary in the Nevada desert. This 1:72 scale diecast model by Hobby Master (HA3808) recreates the Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon #86-0269 "Red 69," assigned to the 64th Aggressor Squadron (AGRS) at Nellis AFB in 2012. This specific airframe was the first to receive the striking "MiG Blizzard" blue and white splinter camouflage, designed to mimic potential adversaries during Red Flag combat training exercises. Beyond its camouflage, this aircraft gained notoriety for surviving a mid-air collision with an F-15C during a 2011 training mission, successfully returning to base and earning its place as a symbol of the Viper's rugged durability.

Ideal for curators of modern air combat and Nellis AFB history, this Air Power Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of elite pilot training. The model is engineered for scale accuracy, featuring an articulating hinged canopy, detailed pad-printed flight instruments, and professionally finished aggressor markings. This premium diecast metal model offers a sophisticated display presence for collectors prioritizing provenance and authentic livery, making it a premier acquisition for any gallery dedicated to pioneer aerospace engineering and the 64th AGRS Gomers legacy.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
