paulsbrown Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 When I first saw photos of the F-16 Viper Team Demo out of Shaw AFB, SC in 2020 I thought that this was one of the best of many F-16 demo schemes but thought it pretty unlikely I would be able to replicate it. Luckily Model Makers Decals had made this scheme super easy for someone with my patience and I ordered the decals immediately. They provide very clear steps in the instructions to lay all the scales down in sections. The decals were thin enough that the Tamiya surface detail still shows through. I had a few hiccups but overall it looks the part. I added a Quinta Studios cockpit as well, painting the gull gray areas to make it blend in better. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Very nicely done! Getting large decals like this to all align and lay down nicely is not as easy as you make it look, your work looks perfect to me. Love the 3 F-16's you have in your collection. I need to get cracking on a couple of mine in the stash now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
