Nice project and subject Tom. Venezuela had some good looking SEA style camo on their F-16s

Re: 1/72 Revell F-16 Viper
I'm having a quick go at it. Here's where I'm at now...
Nose cone...
Wing tanks...
I will be arming them with four AIM-9L sidewinder missiles

Cool choice Tom - nice scheme for a viper!
Great progress thus far.

Thank you, Stuart. It's ready for paint. Most likely tonight. We have a family obligation most of the day today - my niece has a Jack & Jill Shower.

Re: 1/72 Revell F-16 Viper
Painted the undersides Mr. Hobby Camo Grey. The AM decal set listed as Light Grey FS37875. I cross referenced FS37875 and it’s Insignia White. Wut?
Gunze Mr. Hobby Camo Grey looks better than Insignia White. I don’t recall any modern fighter jet still sport an all white underside color.
Tomorrow at some point I’ll spray my first light camo color (LifeColor Summer Uniform Linen) before the green camo colors.

Looks more like an off white in the photo that I posted.
