About product

F-16A MLU Belgium Dream Viper 1:48 (Kinetic)

An injection-molded plastic model of the upgraded General Dynamics F-16A MLU fighter of the Belgian Air Force in the Dream Viper display form, in 1:48 scale from Kinetic. The machine became famous for its conspicuous all-over camouflage for air shows. It has adjustable flaps and leading-edge slats, a detailed cockpit, a full intake duct, well-worked landing gear bays, photo-etched metal, clear parts and quality decals for the striking scheme. The exact number of parts is not stated here.

The real subject

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, nicknamed the Viper, is one of the most widespread modern fighters of Western manufacture. The MLU (Mid-Life Update) program upgraded the European single-seat F-16As and extended their service lives. The Belgian Air Force prepared a specially painted display machine, the Dream Viper, for public appearances, and its striking camouflage makes it a standout exhibit. The F-16 is a light, agile multirole fighter with a single engine.

Building and painting tips

The striking camouflage is the main asset of this model, so it pays to rely on the decals and on careful preparation of a smooth painted base. Glue the plastic parts with thin modeling cement for plastic and the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Assemble the cockpit and the intake before you close the fuselage. Fit the glazing only after the frames have been painted. Apply a primer before painting, spray the colors with an airbrush in thin coats and lay the large decals onto a gloss varnish so that no visible edge is left.

Who the model is for

  • Fans of striking display schemes and air show machines
  • Collectors of F-16 aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a standout exhibit for the display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
