What are the exact specs of this 1/72 F-16C Cobra Tail?

It measures about 22 cm (8.7 in) long with a 13.5 cm (5.3 in) wingspan and stands roughly 7 cm tall on its display stand, weighing around 0.4 lb. The body is cast in die-cast metal with ABS detail parts and finished in the grey USAF scheme with the red Alabama cobra tail.

What's the story behind the Cobra Tail?

The cobra tail art belongs to the 187th Fighter Wing, the Alabama Air National Guard F-16 unit. Their jets carry a snarling cobra head below the red Alabama stripe with the AL tail code — a mark the unit has kept across decades of service at home and overseas deployments.

Does it come with a stand, and how is it meant to be displayed?

Yes — a detachable display stand is included, and the landing gear is fitted for a parked display, so you can present it either way. The missile load on the wing pylons adds real presence to the silhouette.

Where does it fit in a collection?

It pairs naturally with the store's other F-16 variants — Thunderbirds, splinter camo or the two-seat F-16D — or alongside any Century-series jet. The grey scheme keeps it easy on the shelf whether you build a single-aircraft display or a squadron line-up.
