Finally an exciting F-16 Scheme + What are FAB Scale Decals?

Post by cbaltrin »

Down with Grey Paint!

A little bit about myself -- I hate grey F-16's -- which is probably why I have only ever build the Monogram Red/White/Blue Demo bird.
That said, I guess the aggressor schemes are not half bad, but I really got excited about this one I just found.
Unsure about this decal brand though. Anyone have experience with FAB Scale decals?

Yep! I did this one. Caracal Decals makes a great set for this jet. Unfortunately that jet is now in Alaska as an aggressor/interceptor.

Nice scheme - reminds me of the A-16 in Euro 1.

I do love a gray viper, but the aggressors sure are fun. I've got the Hasegawa F-16N and the Tamiya version of Tom's post above. Will be super fun

Thanks,

Nice build. Seeing it refreshed my memory now, but I don’t remember what scale it was. I’m guessing 1/48? Do you know if Caracal made those markings and 72nd scale?
