Janissary Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 "The aircraft was painted overall matte black with the idea being that it would receive the rest of its multi-tone "splinter" style paint job before taking to the flightline for aggressor duties. One source says this black base coat was applied during a visit to the depot following a major inspection and overhaul." I guess now USAF is dabbling with black basing. Gotta work on that tonal variation though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure TB will have a sheet for that too if its not on the BDU sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Aggressors/Adversaries used to be one of my staple builds; used to have about 30 of them, built from the late 80's through almost 2000. Once the splinters started becoming standard, I messed with a few of those and just completely lost my drive or desire....only done two of them since, neither of them splinters. Can be really neat to look at, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waco Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yes, that "Black" scheme was never intended to be an official scheme. The aircraft received the black before departing from depot, but the tail number was needed for RF-AK before they could complete its scheme. It's since been repainted in the brown-green-black splinter scheme as depicted above. 295....tail number same on both pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KEB Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I want to do a 1/32 F-16 with the green splinter camo...what mods would i need to make to the Tamiya kit? and do we know the timing of TwoBobs release of the decals? thanks for your help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamitri Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Depending which tamiya kit you have: if its the Block 50 kit you would need the lightweight landing gear and scab plates. The T-Bird kit you would need GE exhaust, scab plates and large mouth intake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
