Nothing beats the quality of Cartograf decals but you sure beat those older Academy decals into submission. Your Falcon is almost ready to soar!
That beautiful paint job blows me away every time I look at it, Spiros.
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...
Even with such a variety in types you see the "family" resemblance. (Fabulous F1)
Indeed you do, my friend @airbum!
Stop posting aircraft pictures, Spiros (@fiveten)! Now I have ideas for 3 more planes to build. The F-4 looks really cool. My list just keeps getting longer. :o)
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.
Thanks my friend @johnb!
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'
Thanks my friend @airbum! I love all these small "norm" variations.
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.
Thanks my friend @gblair! It was funny, I had always thought that all F-16s had de rigeur white wheels. Even if I saw the HAF Block 30s sporting black mains, I could not accept it in my mind and modelled them with white ones... Talking about institutionalization, or, better, shade vertigo...
MLG looks awesome my friend, @fiveten Those breaking lines are perfect, I presume you used stretched sprue for that.
