Hobby Master HA3844 1:72 F-16C Block 30, 86-0290 AK, 18th Aggressor Sqn

Sale price£155.00 GBP

New

Description

This F-16C captures a distinctive aggressor training snapshot, depicting 86-0290 from the 18th Aggressor Squadron in its “AK” tail-coded markings (2008) shown on the box label. Aggressor aircraft are painted and configured to replicate threat fighters, flying dissimilar air combat training so frontline units can sharpen tactics against realistic opposition. Ideal for a modern tactical training display shelf, desk setup, or a USAF aggressor-themed diorama, and a great choice for collectors who enjoy unique schemes with real operational purpose.
