F-16I exhaust help needed.


Recommended Posts

Hi Harrier/Viper fan,

What scale are you working with? If in 1/48, there's a company that makes carbon fiber decals that you can use to good effect. One sheet has enough to do a whole bunch of burner cans. The name of the company escapes me now but I'll post it once I remember, unless someone beats me to it.

For 1/72, I'll suggest using Testor's Metalizer Dark Anodized Gray.

Thanks Supertom, I ordered some but for the time being i attempted to creat it with paint i will use the decals on my F-16F. I used Flat Black mixed with a little silver to give it that metal shiney effect.

Hoping it came out right. But it looks ok to me but not having done a model in ages anything would look right to me lol.

Sorry for the late rply. The newer -229 Turkey feathers are made from some different Carbon Fiber than I've ever seen before. They are overall very flat and rough in texture. Here are some pics I took of one of the Thunderbirds nozzle. Bear in mind I was using a flash so in some pics they appear glossy. Trust me they are not! This is the same motor in the Su'fa. I'm building the Kinetic 1:48 kit and plan on painting them Black metallic then shooting them flat.
