KursadA Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 (edited) Wow - this was a total surprise. The actual YF-16 was restored with the help of the artwork I provided. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/viewtopic.php?p=2959846#p2959846 I remember preparing the materials but have not followed up with the progress of this. I am really proud to have contributed in some tiny way to preserving the aviation history of my adopted country. Now I guess I have to reprint this sheet after I come back from vacation in August..

habu2 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Congratulations! I haven't been over to see it since they brought it in from NY in a flatbed. Still have pics somewhere. I'll have to go over next week to see if. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 (edited) I didn't realize you had released the Early Viper sheet in 1/1 scale !!! 👍 edit: you should add a page to your website for 1/1 decals and show the Early Vipers mask set (sheet 01001) with these pics - and mark it as Sold Out. 😂 Edited June 7, 2024 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hemspilot Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Awesome! See? Do some more of those historical sheets! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Wondering if they will use your artwork for the Early YA-10 prototype restoration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Way to go! Print a sheet with the prototype scheme AND the new "old" scheme. That would be a winner! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Truly life imitating art! Congrats man, that’s very cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomTheCat Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 One could have assumed that the USAF or General Dynamics would have sufficient documentation for such a project. I guess that at least one person on the restoration team is a plastic modeler, and thus aware that you released nice reference material along with your "F-16 Early Years" decals not too long ago. All the more honored you can feel about this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 This is fantastic, and to see YOUR instruction sheet taped to the nose! Wow! Very cool, and thank you for doing this sheet. Now...if a proper 1/48 YF-16 kit would materialize, that would be outstanding! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted June 14, 2024 Share Posted June 14, 2024 Wow that is a great honour. Well done and congratulations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted June 14, 2024 Share Posted June 14, 2024 Congratulations, Kursad! This is really cool. We modelers are so used to seeing decals made from the markings on the 1:1 aircraft, it's a nice change of pace to see markings going from a scale model to the real thing! Have fun modeling Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarcB Posted July 1, 2024 Share Posted July 1, 2024 Interesting discussion about the restoration lots of useful info and caveats about the accuracy of the restored bird vs the original one 😉 MB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
