1:72 ICM 72146 General Dynamics F-16AM Fighting Falcon with GBU-39 Bombs - Ukrainian Fighter Aircraft Plastic Model kit

A streamlined fuselage, powerful jet engine and modern precision-guided weapons: the ICM 72146 General Dynamics F-16AM Fighting Falcon allows you to recreate a highly relevant aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force in 1:72 scale. This version of the famous F-16 features GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs, compact precision-guided weapons used for attacks against ground targets. The combination of the recognisable F-16 design and modern armament makes this model kit an interesting addition to any collection of contemporary military aircraft.

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon was originally developed as a lightweight, highly manoeuvrable fighter and became one of the world's most successful multirole combat aircraft. The F-16AM is an upgraded version of the single-seat F-16A, incorporating improved electronics and the ability to employ modern weapon systems. In August 2024, the Ukrainian Air Force received its first F-16 fighters. In addition to their important air defence role, the aircraft have also been employed for strikes against ground targets. By the winter of 2025, reports had emerged of Ukrainian F-16s conducting such missions with various types of precision-guided weapons, including the GBU-39.

The GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb is a compact guided aerial bomb weighing approximately 110 kg, equipped with folding wings that deploy after release. These allow the weapon to glide towards its target over considerable distances, reaching up to around 110 kilometres under favourable conditions. Target coordinates and fuze settings can be programmed during a mission. Ukrainian F-16s can also carry an AN/ALQ-131 electronic countermeasures pod beneath the fuselage, designed to disrupt hostile radar systems. ICM recreates this modern combination of aircraft and armament as a plastic model kit in 1:72 scale. The characteristic F-16 fuselage, external weapons and Ukrainian configuration offer excellent opportunities for accurate military painting and realistic weathering.
