My guess is that it has something to do with how they expect the set to be
used: this probably isn't the kind of model a young kid can 'whoosh' around
a lot with in the living room - it's pretty clear they're thinking this is
going to be carefully assembled and then set on a shelf.
The 16+ suggested age range is likely for the benefit of clueless (but
generous!) gift-givers or parents to help steer them toward something a
younger child will find more playable.
