I got this from a gentleman at Hill AFB involved with the paint process during business at the base who showed me the REG that from the mid 90`s till present the "Hill" Scheme ( FS36270 and FS36118)  is the Standard for USAF F-16.

As for the radome if you do a search for F-16 radome, or having the privilege in talking with someone first hand like I the light gray would be a close match.

Ok I checked by bottles of Testors Model Master paint and FS36270 is definitely Neutral Gray but FS 36375 is Light Ghost Gray. And the gunship gray you used looks right but I'll have to look into FS 36320 to see what color it actually is and let you know. BTW I have a half finished F-16C in MIANG livery that I painted Model Master Neutral Gray and Tamiya dark gray (actually does look like gunship gray).

On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6

The 71st Tactical Fighter Squadron the only Squadron to get an Air to Air kill and an Air to Ground kill in the same week with only a F-15   http://photobucket.com/albums/v332/Mikeym_us/

FS 36320 is Dark Ghost Gray had to check Sprue Brothers for that color. BTW you'll probably need to change the color name you have on that picture you posted to neutral gray not light ghost gray.

As for the probe covers I am still thinking how I can make those along with the seat cover?

These should be exactly what you need...

Well I am 90% completed with this build. The only things left are how to affix the "Remove Before Flight", and how to make the "HUD" and Seat covers.

I want to thank everyone who provided there input when I set out to do this build correctly. When I saw the TWOBOB decals and being from Wisconsin I had to build it and I had to do it right.

Special THANKSYesYesYes goes to Daywalker for all is valuable input on making this a true F-16C Block 30.

I used the Tamiya 25/32 and Tamiya CJ kit. I also added Eduards "Big Ed" set for the cockpit, wheel wells / landing gear, Steel Beach FOD plugs, TWOBOB Decals and ScaleFinishes for the "Blockbuster Video Blue" Paint.

Ah, well done so far!  Looks just like the beast when it flies over my house. That blue looks spot on, well done.  Glad I could help you with this project.
