Kinetic K48130 F-16D Block 40 Israeli Air Force F-16D "Brakeet" 1/48 – Plastic aircraft model kit

The Kinetic K48130 kit represents the legendary Israeli F-16D "Brakeet" in the Block 40 version in 1/48 scale. The "Brakeet" is a unique modification of the American multirole fighter General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, used by the Israeli Air Force (IAF). The D version, which is two-seater, was specially adapted to Israeli requirements and equipped with state-of-the-art electronic warfare systems, avionics, and local armament, increasing its combat versatility.

F-16s in the Block 40 version entered service with the IAF in the late 1980s, during the Cold War era. Since then, this aircraft has played a key role in Israeli operations, including numerous combat missions over the Middle East, such as Operation "Grapes of Wrath" (1996) and airstrikes on Syrian installations.
