trickyrich Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 This was built for the F-16 STGB and is the first of the “Tiger Meet” aircraft I will be building. I wanted something different for this GB (which is normal for me) and I didn’t want to really build an a typical Grey F-16. Well she is still grey but I just fell in love with the colour scheme. The scheme is all painted using masks from Model Maker, which were such a breeze to use. Walkway lines and ATA reference lines were masked an painted as well. She is represented here well after the 2015 Tiger Meet in a load out she has been seen flying with (AIM-9x’s are a bit of artistic license and actually belong to the forthcoming F-16CK). I so enjoyed doing this scheme that there are a couple more Tiger Meet aircraft to be built this year, with even more planned in the future. Please enjoy, thank you.

Stunning model, great finish on your part. I can see why you fell in love with this scheme. Now you're making me love it as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich G Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Lovely build, a nice looking F-16 in a cool scheme. Is the streaking and staining done with oils or some other method? Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich thanks, the streaking was done using Tamiya's Weathering Master, it's sort of like eye shadow, I think it's a type of pastel and you apply with a small soft pad. I like using it because it's quite easy to buildup the shading/streaking you want and it can be quite subtle. I've never tried oils, they sort of scare me!
