The Academy 12105 F-16I SUFA model in 1:32 scale is a realistically rendered plastic model kit by the renowned Academy company, featuring a faithful replica of the Israeli multi-role fighter jet F-16I Sufa. The F-16I aircraft, based on the American F-16 Fighting Falcon design, is a modernized and enhanced version created for the Israel Defense Forces – Air Force (IAF). The F-16I Sufa (which means "storm" in Hebrew) was developed as part of a program tailored to meet the needs and combat requirements of the Middle East, distinguishing itself with the use of Israeli avionics, the ability to carry a wide range of armaments, and additional CFT-type fuel tanks.

The Sufa variant entered service with the IAF in 2004 and has taken part in numerous combat operations in the Middle East during the 21st century, such as actions against strategic targets during operations “Cast Lead” and “Protective Edge.” The model depicts a contemporary example, used from the early 21st century to the present day.

• Separately molded cockpit and pilot's cabin elements with rich detail
• Decals for several Israeli F-16I paint schemes
• Ordnance options – missiles, bombs, fuel tanks
• Clear pilot canopy
