It's probably fair to say that Tamiya's newly tooled 1:48 F-16C Block 50 moved the bar up a few notches upon it's release, setting a new standard for models of this famous jet fighter, with greatly improved levels of detail, fit of parts and overall accuracy than any rival production. In this second version, we have the Block 25/32 variant, which, to the untrained eye may look identical to the Block 50. but is in fact subtly different in several key areas. It's actually a considerably older version, the Block 25 being a 1984 upgrade program that introduced better radar and aviation electronic (avionics) systems, and the Block 32 bringing an engine upgrade such as the LITENING II advanced targeting system, which significantly enhanced the aircraft's ability to attack targets at night and in poor-weather conditions. In the kit, we have newly tooled parts to address the different version - the most visually apparent being the smaller diameter intake and different jet nozzle of the Pratt and Whitney powerplant, revised undercarriage components, two new sprues of weapon-consisting of AIM-120 AMRAAM. AIM-9L/M and AIM-9X sidewinders, wing and centreline fuel tanks and LITENING II targeting pod. Newly moulded parts for the GBU-12 laser-guided bombs feature clear components to depict the laser guidance lenses.
