This is an advanced model made from high-quality plastic, perfectly capturing the aircraft’s distinctive, modern lines and authentically replicating the construction details of this future-forward project of the South Korean defense industry.

The KF-21 Boramae was developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) with international partners as a response to South Korea’s growing defense needs. This aircraft represents generation 4.5 and is expected to gradually replace the F-4 and F-5 planes in the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). Boramae (which means “falcon” in Korean) is characterized by advanced avionics, high maneuverability, the ability to carry a variety of weaponry, and stealth technologies, making it one of the most advanced combat aircraft of its class in the world. The first flights took place in 2022, and the introduction into serial service is planned for the mid-2020s – so this is a model of a contemporary aircraft, active in the context of the latest conflicts and air tactics.
