pollie Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) But when someone says that #149 continues to fly is not releasing information? nvm Edited March 4, 2015 by pollie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Pollie already said it wasn't '149' and it seems that the aircraft lost was 681 (FMS 81-0783). Source of the info is Squadron Prints who have just released a print of the aircraft in cooperation with 1 squadron/RJAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 F-16AM 681 (former F-16 ADF) was indeed the a/c lost over Raqqa last December. Thanks for the heads-up on the Squadron Print Koen, I just ordered one. I don't think the a/c in question carried a Sniper pod and GBU-12s, as seen on the print, when it was lost, but I stand to be corrected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Probably a September release - it is almost done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dingo Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Kursad! Any news on that sheet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Still needs some (minor) work. It may be a good idea to add the Iraqi aircraft (which I have not done in 1/48) to this sheet.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I have added the Iraqi aircraft to the sheet: I will finish the design and will post the draft once I deal with the deluge of orders I have received from you folks for the last batch of releases. The subjects on the sheet are Egyptian, Jordanian and Iraqi F-16s that took part in raids against ISIS. There is some bomb graffiti as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave1089 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Great stuff, another sheet to add to the list! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Just a bit more work on the stencilling and this should be done. Three Jordanian (including 681 and one -BM), two Egyptian (one -D and one -C) and two Iraqi aircraft are featured. I just received the translations for the bomb graffiti yesterday; and will add a couple of them to the sheet as promised. Edited November 13, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Here is the final draft of this sheet - coming in mid-December. The Egyptian high-conspicuity area borders are sized for the Hasegawa kit; versions of which cover most of the F-16 variants depicted on the sheet. But I did check them against the Tamiya kit, and they do fit with some adjustment. Edited November 25, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) The Jordanian options include the ill-fated 681, and the two kinds of bomb graffiti on the sheet depict markings that RJAF applied to their ordnance after the event. I got them translated (isn't Fiverr awesome?) One of them reads "Martyr Captain and heroic pilot Muath Al-Kasasbeh", and the other one reads "Martyr No. 2475" (apparently the Jordanian Armed Forces allocates a number to every soldier who dies in the line of duty).

KursadA Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 One of the options is this Egyptian F-16D: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F16tot Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Are this decals coming in scale 1/72 to or is it only in scale 1/48 they are coming? :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Are this decals coming in scale 1/72 to or is it only in scale 1/48 they are coming? :D/> My previous international 1/72 F-16 sheet (CD72019) is about to be sold out in a month or so - when it sells out, I plan to put together a new 1/72 F-16 sheet which will include these markings.

aidy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hi Kursad, I'm about to paint an Iraqi F-16D, and your instructions suggest that the light grey in the scheme is FS36270 neutral grey (labelled A). Compared to the Egyptian scheme printed on the same page, it looks more like the FS36375 (labelled C) in the Egyptian scheme than FS36270 on the same aircraft. So, are the Iraqi jets FS36270 or FS36375? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please go by the color call-outs and not the actual colors used in printing the profiles : the color used in the profiles is not intended to be an accurate representation of the actual color. Always go by the actual FS number or paint brand identified I specified. I don't have the actual instructions or design files with me right now, but I will check once I go home and post here.
