F-16A "Iron Eagle" Academy 1:32


Recommended Posts

I do not know if you remember the movie "Iron Eagle"?
If you remember right away, you will know where the idea for this model comes from.

F-16A Israel Air Force.

 

The model is F-16CG Academy 1:32 with Isra Cast modifications and additions.
Models like this is a unique building for me because I try to build, models straight from the box.
This one of two exceptions.

Hello Koralik,

Master with the airbrush, on this very difficult Israeli color scheme.

My highest compliments,

Dirk

That's a lovely model, Koralik, I'm sure in 1/32 it has an imposing presence.  The surface detailing is impressive, were the "rivets" moulded in?  (I'm utterly unfamiliar with this kit)

 

I must admit a certain disappointment that there isn't a bright orange "Hades Bomb" on the centerline station, nor does the model change from a one-seat to two-seat configuration depending on which photo I'm observing.  😀 

 

I'm also a bit curious whether illicit copies of Iron Eagle were available for viewing east of the line before 1989 or so, if you have any memories I'd love to hear them.

What about Iron Eagle 2 with F-4E's playing Mig-29's if memory serves!

 

Great build, I really like that.
