polar bear Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Odyssey Dawn Viper part 2: HAVE GLASS F-16CJ over Libya F-16CJ Block 50B CCIP 22nd FS ‘WarHawk’ in Operation Odyssey Dawn / Unify Protector' Academy 1/72 plastic model kit This is my second F-16 from The Operation Odyssey Dawn series. My subject is 90-0827. It wears Have Glass scheme. So, I did some experiment for this painting. The conclusion is adding metallic color into base color. That makes color get darker and sheen. List of aftermarket - Dr.Pepper Resin Exhaust - Hobby Decal pitot and AOA probes - Astra decal ‘F-16C USAFE Spangdahlen’ (revised sheet: two set with two tone of gray printed!!!) - Hasegawa 1/72 weapon set (for left HTS) SEAD/DEAD mission with HARM. Have Glass painting is coarse and collects stain within. The rudder had difference color due to field maintenance and replacement. No small inlet at vertical stab base because of BLOS radio system upgrade. Edited August 26, 2014 by polar bear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polar bear Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Exhaust is from Dr.Pepper Resin, good detail. Armed with 3 AMRAAMs and an AIM-9X. Two ALE-50 towing decoy at station 2/10 You might see the sheen from this angle ….. Soot stain from M61A1. Edited August 18, 2014 by polar bear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polar bear Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 This time I use Modern Hobbies’ JHMCS helmet with Revell pilot. I really love it. Besides HARM, This Viper carried GBU-31 for bombing a stronghold DUO Vipers! To fellow modelers, I would like to confess that squadron tail band is not 100% correct. Because the letters is changed from Stingers to Warhawks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
