Zvezda 1/144 F-16 (7435)

In this review I will tell you more about Zvezda 1/144 F-16 (7435). Kit comes as new-tool small scale release from the famous manufacturer. For me it is interesting that they decided to have this type of aircraft as completely new plastic. Nevertheless, whole set is definitely worth checking and that is why small box is on the table. Overall packaging is typical, so all frames are sealed into one plastic bag. In total there are 34 parts which should assemble into an aircraft with 10.4cm length. Let's open everything and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another cool F-16 in bigger scale.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer


First we see aircraft stand which might be handy for display. It is a standard bonus, which is more than welcome for this F-16.


Aircraft parts are molded out of sand-colored plastic. On the first frame you can see the lower half of the aircraft. Keep in mind that whole model is snap-fit and can be assembled without glue.


Yes, nose cone is divided into two halves, so you will have carefully assemble everything together. Note also separate air intake which will have to be installed on the fuselage.


Decals sheet looks fine and carries full numbers registry. Clear frame also looks great, but keep in mind that this is a one-piece element. There are also no masks in the kit.


Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.


New small fighter should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great pick for modelers who would like to have the famous F-16 in their collection. Don't be confused by snap-fit feature, as there are still plenty of things copied in the standard plastic. Moreover, I think we will see aftermarket too, so it is only a question of how much you would like to spend on the build.
Thank you for your help in getting this kit for the review.
