F-16 fighters, transferred to Ukraine, after their involvement in the fighting, undergo "full service" in Poland. These aircraft have already been provided or will be provided by several European countries: the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and they are all or will be suitable for use immediately after delivery. The USA, even before the first aircraft reached Ukraine, was already thinking about how to keep these several dozen machines in combat condition for as long as possible. The US Department of Defense planned to provide the Ukrainians with a strong rear by supplying spare parts and equipment. Of course, they also need to be serviced. Poland has companies, that perform F-16 service work, which can be done at the Lask and Krzesiny tactical aviation bases, but the best conditions for this are at the Military Aviation Workshop No. 2 in Bydgoszcz. This workshop performs a huge amount of work on Polish "Falcons", as well as a lot of work on trips to military bases. But there is one "but" - this company has a contract, under which it performs service and repair work on all 90 American F-16C and D aircraft, serving in Europe. The employees of the Mielec aviation factory, which produces components and structures for the latest F-16 versions "Block 70" and "Block 72", are also involved in the maintenance of the F-16. But Poland should not be the only country, that carries out maintenance work on Ukrainian F-16s. If the situation forces it, it can also be done at factories in other European countries, for example, in Greece or Belgium.
A small and well-designed model of a small aircraft, well-detailed and with an unusual "pixel" camouflage, suitable only for modelers with medium experience and experienced. The model has detailed cockpit equipment, visible engine parts, landing gear, its niches, a wide selection of changing weapons, and all exterior details are perfectly detailed. There are a number of colors reserves in this model, but not very many. The textual instructions in Polish are considerable, detailed and will serve You well in the process of assembling the model. The graphical instructions are also large, informative, easy to read and clear.
