    I sanded my "tricolore" 🙂 putty at the starboard chute housing sides, we are ready for the paint shop now!

    Thanks my friend @johnb!
    This morning was mainly spent assembling the BR.20 for the EoJ GB (my two little monkeys were with me, so it was not possible to paint...)
    Hopefully tonight?

    This is another interesting project, Spiros. There’s a lot more to F-16s then most people think. American F-16ADF interceptors had the ID/police light on the left side. F-101Bs featured it on the left too. I’m looking forward to your paintwork on this one.

    Looks great, Spiros (@fiveten). The paint will blend everything together and the new plastic will look like it has always been there.

    Thanks my friends @eb801 and @gblair!
    Here is the neutral gray:


    Cockpit and seat took the same color, too, as it will be their basic color.
    Now the Falcon will pend the night outside to dry and, hopefully, painting wll continue tomorrow.
    Thanks for stopping by!

    Always good to see the paintwork started, Spiros.
    Meaning the end stage is near.
    Looks great.

    Light (ghost) gray applied


    I went on and freehanded the light gray with my Revell Vario. I also painted the wing tanks and all pylons (sans the tip one) with the same color, as in reality. Here is the top:
    ...and the bottom:
    Next is the light blue, that I have already custom made.
    Thanks for stopping by!

    Wrap around camouflages are one of my favourite, and the Greek scheme is quite appealing. Eagerly waiting for the blue Spiros!

    Thanks my friend @holzhamer!
    I also love the wraparound camos, with the lizzard ones among my favourite!
