stevehnz Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yeah, like that, the stuff of nightmares to my mind. I guess I'll get used to it, maybe. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Pull out a good record or CD, and just do an album at a time. It takes longer overall to get them all on, but can help fight off stencil burnout.....hence why I'm expecting the EJ Kai to be a solid 2 weeks for decaling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well done on this unusual scheme Steve, it really give the F-16 a different look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks Cookie, it was one of those schemes that as soon as I saw it I went hunting for some decals & knew I'd do it one day. This GB seemed like a good chance. It was very much about the scheme rather than the model & as a non air brusher, I was pleased at the way it came out. For me, most boxes ticked. Steve.

Not exactly an Aggressor Viper but an experimental scheme at the time of the Desert Storm fracas in 1990/91. Apparently it made the aircraft too hard for its own side to see hence why it was scrubbed off asap. They must have been scared of loosing it. From the first time I saw this, I was set on doing it, an itch scratched & very happily so. Thanks for the kind words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 "Paint it camo to increase survivability in hostile environment." "It's too hard to see, change it back." Isn't that point of camo? And yes, I get it. Air superiority wasn't an issue the the Gulf War, so there was a greater risk of a friendly air-air collision than there was being spotted by an enemy aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums it up nicely. I still think it was an opportunity missed though. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've got 3 or 4 1/48th F-16s (or derivatives) in the stash...and none of them are going to be in the standard grey scheme. My Diana twins are likely the only F-16s I'll have in the grey scheme...they look to nice all wrapped up in camo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
