Hajo L. Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) The next in line! I will do this as a "Blue Lizzard"-aggressor. HAJO Edited May 10, 2014 by Hajo L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Some progress...: I wonder why the cockpit decals for the MFDs are blue... They are most likely not visible after the canopy has been closed... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Good, looks like a F-16 so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah, jets are easy for me - I don´t bother much with details, just glue them together and start painting... First I added a coat of pure white, now it looked like preparing for some winter season: I then started with the bright blue (visible on the tail), but quickly decided not to continue. My initial plan was to paint the whole jet in that blue and then add the other colors, but the bright blue did not cover good, even on the white. So I continued with grey and will add the bright blue portions as last color item. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Added the darker blue tone: And then came the bright blue: HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Which colors/FSs did you use Hajo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Uh... mainly colors I mixed myself. The grey was based on Revells #76, with some drops of white. The darker blue is Revell #56, but I think I had put some white in that as well. The brighter blue is a color I mixed for my F/A-18 from VFC-12, can´t tell what I used to get that color then... Sorry, I´m not much of help here... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 I applied some decals and stencils, but still have to do the squadron markings, patches and so on. I´m not sure what to do: Mike from Vagabond Decals has sent me the black markings of the Arctic Bad Boys for the "WA" (Nellis) F-16... Black markings will definitely change the current appearance of the bird, and I still have some grey ones for an "AK" (Alaska) bird... Those would fit better to the grey walklines. Either what option I will chose, the tail-numbers won´t fit to the paintings of the model, as they are representing a different paint-scheme in reality. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ok, I´m done. I decided to use the AK-markings: HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
