Niels Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Fair point Kursad. I am stoked about this sheet anyhow, and great you're able to include 90-0709. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a couple other units which are yet to finalize the decoration of their new HG5 jets; and I will be on the lookout for the final configurations. http://dare-photo.nl/buzzards-at-raf-lakenheath/ Is this the new tail flash in the second picture from this link? I am assuming it says 510 in it, and some kind of buzzard art on tail. Is this buzzard going on all the jets or only a few? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) No. second pic shows the tailband of the Squadron CO's aircraft. Picture 1 shows the new tailband. It is slowly making its way around the fleet, but you can still see the old tailband as per pic 4 Edited July 3, 2020 by Niels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 KursadA, Would it be possible to include ANG badge as seen on the intake of 91-0388 - supplement to earlier sheets? https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Air-Force/Lockheed-F-16CM-Fighting-Falcon/6062963/L?qsp=eJwljEEKwkAMRe/y192IIDg79QC68AIhE9pCNUOShaX07sZx93gP3gbWd8gnnmsTFLiQ8YQBjYxejrKhTRp6o5BRbUU5D3C1uCaipr0wSwup%2BPu7VbFfEue%2BGXN7SBB7dMbxlL7O3hbqDwmaF%2Bz7FxBpLoA%3D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Interesting - at this rate, it looks like most units will switch to the new scheme pretty soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5988686/new-grey-f-16 so what FS grey is this? It’s not Have Glass and cant tell if it is gunship grey 36118. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yes, this is the HG5 scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I believe the "correct" FS is FS36170, but difficult to come by paint wize. FS36076 is a close one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice! i like the all black stencils on 91-0377. That looks pretty slick. Edited July 9, 2020 by achterkirch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Interesting how they have marked up 91-0377 as 91-1377 (which is wrong BTW)!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That is what I thought. Looks really cool, hope we get some decals for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 In the latest videon released on Shaw AFB FB page of the memorial for Lt. Schmitz, 91-0377 is shown with all black tail and white lettering but still otherwise in HG5 scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 86-0350 of the 113FW 121FS also seen in the HG5 scheme - although missing tail band usually seen on the jets from this unit https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9786436 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nachjager Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Umm...the HG gray in recent photos do look less purplish and/or metallic, more like a AMC Gray. Anyone care to comment on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulvdemon Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I am noticing a lack of a metallic sheen. *ponder* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
