This detailed model comes in a high quality collector's box. Many interesting facts are printed on the bottom of the box. Research in archives, on site, as well as the most accurate photographing and measuring are the basis for the model of this unique Swiss fighter jet produced in the resin casting process. The only remaining specimen is in the Flieger- und Flabmuseum in Dübendorf. The production of the model in Mstb. 1:72 was limited to 500 pcs. and will not be produced again. Already the decision to produce this jet as a model shows our passion for Swiss aviation models. Furthermore we used a landing gear that can be attached to the landing gear bay by means of very small power magnets and does not require any gluing or tedious insertion. Of course, the landing gear doors are included as accessory parts. So the model can be displayed 100% correct in flight configuration or standing on the Tarmac.
The FFA P-16 is a jet-powered ground combat aircraft developed and built in Switzerland by Flug- und Fahrzeugwerke Altenrhein (FFA) starting in 1950, but ultimately not introduced into the Swiss Air Force. During the entire P-16 flight test, a flight time of 233 hours was achieved with 508 flights. A total of 5 prototypes were built. During testing, two prototypes were lost in crashes due to technical defects. The second accident was then taken as a reason to cancel series production for the Swiss Air Force.
