Have Glass V F-16
Posted by B_one fixer on Saturday, September 30, 2017 5:35 PM

This is the italeri 1/48 f-16c that was quickly slapped together for a paint exercise for the newish f-16 schemes called have glass v. It is smilar to the f-35 paint scheme.

Paints used were Mr color dark sea gray as a base color. Followed by Gunze moolight silver ( a transparent silver) decals by caracal, selaed with more transparent silver, then toned down the gloss with Mr Paint matte Have Glass coating.

Excellent work! The metallic sheen of the colors really catches that aspect of the scheme.

Thanks all,

 

bish you are correct . The same finish is applied to the F-22 but with different base colors.
