Hobby Master HA3872 1:72 F-16C Fighting Falcon 18th Aggressor Sqn Alaska 2017

Sale price£78.00 GBP

Pre-owned - Near Mint (9/10)

Description

Hobby Master HA3872 depicts F-16C 86-0295 from the 354th FW with the 18th AGRS at Eielson AFB, Alaska, dated December 2017. This jet’s appeal is the aggressor paint history noted in the reference, arriving in July 2017 in a black scheme with yellow markings, then switching to red markings for the RED FLAG-Alaska period before later moving on to the green BDU splinter scheme.

A great pick for a modern USAF aggressor display, ideal if you like aircraft with clearly documented scheme changes and exercise-linked markings in 1:72.
