F-16 flown by RNLAF


Recommended Posts

I am looking to do another F-16 in 1/72 and would like to do an F-16 last flown by the Dutch before they acquired the F-35. What was the last variant flown by RNLAF and who makes a good kit for that variant. My last F-16 in 1/72 was Hasegawas F-16A Plus Fighting Falcon and was an excellent build.

Pretty sure all of their A & B models got the MLU upgrade, they are still classified as Block 15 and now called F-16AM & BM. f-16.net is a wealth of info:

The Dutch still fly the F-16 (next to the F-35). They are slated for withdrawal in 2024. 

 

Only the F-16AM is still in use since the last twoseat BMs were retired during the summer.

They might have at least one still in service. Look likes J-067 flew back to the Netherlands from Arizona on December 13th.
