Front Wheel for Tamiya 1:48 F-16 Wider Version

⸻

✈️ Aircraft Compatibility:
F-16 Versions Featuring the Wider Front Wheel (Strengthened Nose Gear)
1. F-16C/D Block 52+ (Polish Air Force – Jastrząb)
Equipped with drag chute and CFTs (Conformal Fuel Tanks), requiring reinforced landing gear.
2. F-16C/D Block 50/52 Advanced
Used by countries like Greece, Turkey, and Israel. Many have similar configurations to the Polish Block 52+, including wider nose wheels in upgraded versions.
3. F-16E/F Block 60 (UAE)
Heavier due to AESA radar and extensive avionics, often includes reinforced landing gear components.
4. F-16V (Viper upgrade)
While the base upgrade doesn’t always include the wider wheel, some retrofitted aircraft with CFTs or other weight-adding features might also receive the wider nose wheel.
5. F-16C/D Block 70/72
The newest production standard; depending on customer configuration (especially with CFTs), they may include reinforced or widened front landing gear.

This model has been carefully designed to match the Tamiya F-16 kit, ensuring perfect fit and scale accuracy, while also being compatible with other similar kits, making it a versatile upgrade for your aircraft models.
