Each year, the NATO "Tiger Meet" gives member nations an opportunity to train together in simulated battle over the skies of Europe. The 1985 meet was hosted at the Kleine Brogel Air Base in Belgium and No.31 Squadron of the Belgian Air Force proudly displayed their enthusiasm for the event by painting one of their F-16As in a spectacular bright yellow and black tiger striped paint scheme as depicted by this model. Dragon Models produce some of the most detailed diecast metal F-16 models available. Each model is assembled from sturdy metal components featuring detailed panel lines, antennas, access panels and other surface details. All feature accurately researched exterior markings and placards which are applied using a state-of-the-art pad printing process so they will not fade or peel like decals. The canopy can optionally be displayed in an opened position, revealing a detailed cockpit interior. The authentic ordnance loads can be attached at different wing stations and the speedbrakes can be shown opened or closed, inside the all-moving horizontal stabilizer surfaces. Finally, the model may be shown "in flight" on its display stand, or firmly on the ground when the metal landing gear is attached.
