This HUGE Mahogany wood desktop model airplane is BIGGER and more detailed than the regular F-16C model airplane available in the market today, for a lot less but with a greater quality!

This huge BIG WINGS series F-16C Falcon wood model airplane is hand-carved from mahogany wood and is hand-painted to represent 89-2009, a 555th "Triple Nickel" squadron (31st Fighter Wing, 16th Air Force USAF Europe) "Viper".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multi-role jet fighter aircraft developed by General Dynamics in the United States. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multi-role airplane. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market, serving 24 countries.The F-16 is the largest and probably most significant current Western fighter program, with over 4,000 airplane built since production started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the United States Air Force, it is still produced for export.

The Fighting Falcon is regarded as a superb dogfighter, with innovations including a frameless canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-load, and reclined seat to reduce g-effects on the pilot. It was also the first fighter aircraft to be deliberately built to be able to sustain 9 g turns. Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.
