Thanks Tom  I never liked how the three color scheme was laid out on the aircraft in real life and I was too lazy to remap it. So, I put the two color F-16 scheme on her. The darker gray is suppose to be gunship gray but I wanted a worn sun bleached look to her. So, I added a $hit ton of flat white to it to tone it down. The nose cone is straight gunship gray.

Just... WOW! 

Thanks Rat

There's also an interesting, asymmetrical ROCAF paint scheme for the F-CK-1:

I rather like the look of that aeroplane, it's like an F-16 with conventional intakes.

Who does a kit of it please?

There are also upgrade kits available, almost all of them in 1/48 (only one set of wheels in 1/72, that I could find).



PS: DON'T go having a coronary episode over the HLJ prices! (I almost did! )

Note: BNA Models shows the AFV Club kits as "Future Releases" but no prices.

I did, those are RIDICULOUS prices for a 1/72 jet. It'd be cheaper to convert an F-16............

Thanks for looking anyway, I came up with nothing when I tried it.

I have tried the opposite (on drawing), modifying a Ching-Kuo to look like a F-16:
