That looks superb, I love that scheme. Got started on dark green with low vis roundals last night. Bit concerned it may be too dark for the black roundals, but we'll see.
Thanks for the serial list, Corsair.

They were going to stay in the pakistani grey scheme, they were not going to be green.
If they had ever been repainted, they would no doubt have ended up all over grey like everything else we currently have.

Nice work Calum, all your builds are exceptional. Time for an update though isn't it? By now the RNZAF F16's would have been through a major MLU with conformal tanks, uprated engines, improved ECM and avionics as well as new munitions. Well maybe if we were the Emirates

Thanks Phil. Grey it is. Might have to do an NH-90 too. Ohakea skies weren't so grey when I was a kid, Dave. Oh, hang on, yes they were. :-)

Have all of the artwork done for RNZAF F-16 decals, but have been dragging my feet on the instructions. Should get my A into G and get them done I guess.

Oh, hang on, yes they were. :-) Apologies for inducing thread drift, but all this talk of grey skies reminds me of this: Which is an elegant send up of this classic 1990's electronica track (this mix of which has what sounds like a merlin sampled into the first 30 seconds or so): Linked both because one is essential to understanding the other. By the way in all of my many visits to Ohakea, I have only been rained on twice

Speaking of grey skies- Does anyone remember the airshow at Ardmore (around 1990 I think) where Kiwi Red performed under a low grey overcast sky? They used their bad weather routine and I can distinctly recall a formation barrel roll that was very 'tight' for space for number 3 I think. No camera then but I remember going "wow". (Not sure if this should be here or under 'Airshows')
