The
F-16i is the new fighter jet of the Israeli air force. It's Hebrew name is "Sufa",
which means: Storm. In order to build this model as
correctly as I could, I first bought the "F-16i Sufa"
book of Ra'anan Weiss
from IsraDecal publication. This
book contains a huge selection of walk around pictures that are essential for that project. It
also contains all the information about painting (together with the decal
sheet). I don’t believe I could have built this model without this book.
This f-16 is for sure, different from any other old and well knows F-16s!
