Wouldn't matter, it's a modeling error that had to be fixed, not a texturing error as we first thought. All fixed now.

Some various loadouts:

Image
Something you don't see too often any longer, AGM-65 Mavericks under each wing.

Image
The big fatties, dual GBU-31 loadout.

Image
One of the latest weapons to come into service, GBU-39 SDBs (Small Diameter Bomb)

Image
Standard GBU-38 JDAMs under the starboard wing and the newer GBU-54 LJDAMs under the port wing (dual mode laser/GPS)

Image
For the F-16 FAC-A role, LAU-131 rockets along with GBU-12's

Kevin has been working hard on the Shaw paints including nice little details like mission marking and pilot names under the canopy.

Still a few more loadouts to create but we're getting close to finalizing all the USAF weapons for the modern era Vipers.

Took about 6 hours just to get to this point, you'd think putting all those polygons on would be relatively easy. Anyhow here's a block 32 P&W powered aggressor Viper painted up in the newest splinter scheme:

LOL.

Luckily I must be a bit of a masochist, had to give it a whirl.
Not too hard using Bezier curves, knocked this much up in a few hours....

A few more hours and the uppers are complete.
Had to fudge two places because of a little stretching, but overall I am happy.

If the model that you wish to paint has been released, then we're happy to supply you with the paintkit.

Which version of the F-16 are you interested in painting??

LOL. That's a large undertaking.

We need someone to take on the Block 50+ and 52+ models, both single seat and two seat versions (spine versions). We're talking Greece, Morocco, Turkey, Singapore, Chile and a few others.

Poland is already spoken for by user 'Hawk_sh'.

The F-16I is a separate model that we have covered already and will eventually release.

Would you be interested in painting some of those aircraft??
