nachjager Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 In the new Speed Hunter Graphic's Test Viper sheet there is mention of a certain BLOS antenna for the OT-marked F-16. I did some web search but did not found conclusive info about the mod. Anyone has a little more info on it and how I can simulate the mod in a 1/48 scale F-16? Thanks for reading.

jmel Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The BLOS mod is becoming standard on all USAF vipers recently. Nearly all jets have now been modified. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems the best way to simulate the BLOS mod in a 1/48 scale model would be to paint the lower fin area in a different shade of gray or perhaps adding the shape using thin tape or even aluminum foil.
