Original handcrafted aviation display featuring a detailed USAF F-16 Fighting Falcon mounted on a sculptural Texan flag presentation base.

This striking custom-made piece combines military aviation modelling, patriotic display art, and mechanical animated presentation into a unique collector object intended for aviation enthusiasts and interior display.

The aircraft is presented in operational combat configuration with:

• external fuel tanks,
• missile loadout,
• detailed cockpit,
• squadron-style tail markings,
• and carefully executed military paintwork.

The large Texan flag base transforms the object from a conventional scale model into a decorative aviation sculpture with strong visual impact.

The reverse reveals an integrated battery-powered motorized system. When batteries are installed, the internal mechanism activates and the motor can be heard operating, adding an authentic kinetic aspect to the display.
