ok, so i'll quit clogging up the overall screenie thread with F-16s.

over 4600 built. 43 years of service. over  major 25 operators. there should be some variety here

i'll start this show off mile high...

Hmmm yeah, something weird is going on with my inbox, I think it needed a little clean up, I deleted a few things in there...

Well, not only do I fly F-16s, but I've been trying to finish a "simple" mod based on the Chilean Air Force for a long time... I say simple in quotes because over time I found details and solutions. of the same in the excellent viper team model... I actually thought of working on the YAP vipers, but although they are very precise the viper team work has more animations and covers the wide variety of blocks and variants...

Here are some improvements...
* Relocated (and slightly scaled) IFF and RWR antennas
* Canopy frames with their respective black borders (in blocks D and B I managed to thicken the frame that divides the cabins)
* The section of the engine shown between the fuselage and the nozzle on the B models had a mapping problem that only showed a narrow ring, now also fixed...
Some corrections in the drawing of the panel lines (not of the number of rivets type) but something better was achieved.

I did a lot of this with added 3D with fake pilot and hiding/overlaying things...also did some work on the canopy TGAs...so far I think it meets my expectations.

id say you got the newer markings and i've got the  older ones, except i did do both since there was a little over a year seperation between the two styles

img00020.thumb.JPG.c63905c6d5cbdbf2e5fd6e1f57c3198f.JPG

also, theres new ADFs coming at months end. B model and A model w/o the tractor beam that was on what i originally worked with

img00021.thumb.JPG.583485f8d6c5901aa572074e438137a0.JPG

did you put your Buccaneer head on skin or as tga? frankly, i should have gone tga myself, it was a PITA gettin him squared up on each side and each aircraft!

(dammit, gotta fix that rescue mark on the B. number 93 on the list now.....)

(We need those weird Russian markings for the 'MiG-29s' to do Iron Eagle II full justice)
