F-16 livery canumdrum

[Vleugelmoer]

Having just bought and received the 1:32 F-16 Sufa kit I bought from Paul I'm now stuck between an rock and a hard place deciding on how I'm going to build it. I have inspected the contents of the kit and there is enough styrene to last a while and also do several variants.


The kit


IDF paint scheme

As the IDF color scheme is not as exotic as it once was in my opinion i'm contemplating doing something different.

with some minor alterations I could convert the Block 52 Israeli Defense Force Sufa to a block 60 United Arab Emirates



Or with some other minor adjustments do a Block 52 Hellenic Air Force version



I could really use some input from my fellow modelers on the livery selection and decal options available.

Thanks for the advise and as always happy modeling

those greek ones look the biz in my humble opinion.

Interesting that the canopy is only tinted up front, i never clocked that before.

The canopy transparency for most dual fighters consists of two parts due to health and safety weight restraints have seen it before on some Dutch F-16 in the past as they ran out of tinted ones after some peace activists got on to an airbase and started taking axes to the fighter there...

The kit comes with a clear and tinted canopy so might give a custom tint job a try :JD:

The Greek version would also be the "EASY" conversion.

I like the Greek camo
