Thanks my friends @gblair and @eb801!

Yep, old school Academy decals may detach form the model and self destroy, without any warning,,,

The ghost scheme is really nice, different and refreshing, isn't it? In fact, it' a top gun adversary scheme, or, at least, it's HEAVILLY based on it. Apart from our Vipers, all operational F-4Es wear it...

Indeed you do, my friend @airbum!

Yep, the merits of ghost scheme for planes operating at the Greek landscape were realised soon after the first batch of ghost F-16s started to operate, during late 80s.
The result, especially as experienced in the F-4s, is stunning: together with the newer "no smoking" engines, this smoking giant became "invisible"! And more charming, as well, my friend @gblair!

Some nice progress steps, Spiros @fiveten
Great approach to simulate the ceremic coating, looks very realistic.

All black! that is something different. I may have seen it on other F-16's but right now I do not recall any. Always nice to get all the details in proper progress - keep'em comin'

All-black wheels certainly simplifies the painting, Spiros (@fiveten). Painting tires and hubs is usually one of my least fun things to do. Ceramic looks great.

Landing gear installation in progress...
