This is going to look very good!

The HEMP look OK. It's not an ordinary gray. Hope that it will merge well with the coor spots.
Tomorrow will see the result.

One hour of work and this is the result.
Tomorrow afternoon will do the work on the undersurfaces (and on the T-tail):

Very cool camo job, man - very wicked piece of work.  Excellent example.

will you leave upper part of horizontal stabilizer in hemp colour, as I don't see these cammo patches...?  :rolleyes:

The photos published here have been taken from me at 00.30 of today... at a certain point I'm gone at bed.

Today will strip away the tape from the tail and from the underbelly.

I did like it better before that last coat of gray.  Something about the yellow tape squares and the rest of it was just beautiful. . .

But it's looking pretty darn good, :thumbsup:

This F-16/104 is the proof that I'm spending more time into the paint scheme development and application than in the building process!

This is the kit at the present day:

What colour will you use for the nose? A light or a dark colour?
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

The radome was painted yesterday in Gunze H-53 Neutral Gray.
I'm working on minor details, hope of to be ready to complete it in very short time.
