Yes, all dark markings would be dark grey, including the national insignias. The f-16.net picture shows the third Flanker scheme, yes. I don't knpw whether they were repainted between PDM or only during PDM. Jens

These are my WIPs featuring the first and second Flanker schemes. Jens

There are three different Flanker schemes, all using the same colours. The earliest one doesn't follow the (almost) standard pattern of the new Flanker, Flogger and Arctic Flanker schemes. This scheme has only been done by TwoBobs (48-254). The second and third Flanker schemes are similar to each other pattern-wise. However, the second one has pale blue immediately aft of the radome while the third (and current) scheme has the medium blue aft of the radome. That's the easy way to tell those two schemes apart. Now, it's the second Flanker scheme with normal line jet mark

Thanks Richard. 🙂 You're welcome Mark. As for the B-52... Good luck and see you next century. 😉 Nah, it can't all be aggressors and adversaries. In fact, it's been a while since I have worked on those kits (although I have plenty waiting to be finished). 😉 Jens

You mistook me for someone who gets easily offended. Nothing could be farther from the truth. None of the USAF F-5E schemes were named "Mako" or "Shark", nor did any of the resemble a shark in any way, so it was pretty obvious that it was a USN F-5E/N he requested. Besides, the question had already been answered by others. Jens

That sheet is for USAF F-5Es and has nothing to do with OP's request. Jens

I have been working on the HB F-105G for some time. These are the things I corrected/improved: - Removed large ECM blisters on fuselage (I am building an early F-105G). - Replaced consoles etc. in the cockpit (my next HB F-105 will have a resin pit). - Replaced the fat ventral fin with one from Quickboost and added details around that area. - Increased the tail fin chord by simply adding a piece of plastic card on the leading edge and forming the leading edge with Tamiya putty. - Modified the intake on the belly (the HB item looks a bit shallow). - Scratchb

There is no such thing as an F-16A block 25. As and Bs are 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20. Cs and Ds are 25 and up. Jens

I agree, and let me know if you need help with references for Danish Chipmunks. Jens

They are identical except for the instructions and decals. I have several of both RoKAF kits, and all are supposed to become USAF F-4C/Ds. Jens

I only have pictures from 2005/06, but I can see from those pictures that most Blackhawks carried names (e.g. 'Hells Guardian - Slick Hounds' and 'Rooster'). Jens

You cannot build an accurate B or D OOB from the E/I kits. The lower fuselage parts have been changed from the B/D kit to correctly portray the E/I belly (I found out by actually comparing the parts from the kits). That said, I'd go for the GWH kit any day. I have lost interest in the Revell F-15Es I have in my stash, and I have scrapped an Academy kit. Jens

Yes, the F-15I includes frame J which is the one with the c/l pylon on it. Jens

If you're concerned about dimensions and accuracy, go Hasegawa. Jens

This one? Jens
