Pedro1 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Not my usual kind of subject (no propeller...), but I joined an F-16 group build of my regional model club. I'm not very interested in the 50 shades of grey that normally adorn modern jet fighters, so I opted for an aircraft in the SEAC colours of the Venezuelan Air Force, with the bright commemorative markings for the 25th anniversary of the 'Dragones'. The kit is from Revell, that I kindly acquired from a fellow modeller from Denmark, through the Scalemates network. The decals are from Aztec, and using the 'strong' version of Daco decal setting solution they confirmed beautifully on the tail. I hope you like it.

Vultures1 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Lovely job! Looks really nice in those colours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 That's "50 shades" well avoided! The three-tone camo really makes for a striking aircraft. Very nice work indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig88 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Great job indeed! I agree, other than the Israeli scheme, you really see the other non-grey schemes (Venezuela, Indonesia) and they look great on the F-16. Well done! The Venezuelan scheme is one I would love to have but, so far, there are no decals available in 1:144.

This also includes 1:144 scale markings: https://aztecmodels.com/collections/decals/products/g-004-generic-decals-venezuelan-air-force Or write them an e-mail suggesting they should issue the F-16 sheet in your scale 🙂 Un cordial saludo, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Very nice. There`s no doubt that the gears are turning inside our friend “Ridge Runner`s” ( Martin ) head right now because of this fabulous F-16. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a slot in my build plans I'd probably go a little older and build a FAV F-5B Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantherhawk27263 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Like you, I am not a fan of the low vis greys that adorn planes these days and I love colorful camo. You did a great job on a scheme and markings not seen to often in forums like this. It's a beautiful build, very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
