fasteagle12 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I finally dig out my old 1/32 Hasegawa F-16A kit and have gotten to painting. I assumed the area under the rear canopy would be black but looking through many photos online I couldn't really find a good shot except for one where it looked to be a light grey (the photo is of a C model). Other photos I found it appears to be dark grey or black but it's really difficult to see. Does anyone have a definitive color for this area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Definitely flat black. The raised vent is usually black as well but I've seen them painted gray in a few pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks habu....that's what I thought but just needed confirmation. Can't think of a better source than you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillS Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Flatish Black with a coating of dust. The correct nomenclature for the clear cover aft of the canopy is “aft transparency” but is sometimes referred to as the “opera glass”. Even with a tinted canopy, the aft transparency is most often clear FWIW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
