Edwards Viper scheme

[Victory103]

Sure just a test scheme, although maybe the USAF might be looking to the USMC.

Night falcon ?

So that's where all the paint went when United changed their scheme.

This is a COOL livery!

It looks like it may have been one of Lock-Mart's in-house vipers.

It's shiny... maybe they repainted it with the paints used for the F-22?

Thats my thought, having seen the "stealth paint" applied to other F-16's, different shade but you can see a sheen to it.

I posted the image on a modelling forum and here is somebody's comment
"That's one fo the Shadow jets sporting the 5th Gen HG. It was also a jet I crewed in Misawa (89-90) and later on at Edwards.
Radome is the same grimmy gray it was before the HG paint job. I believe there are 3 Edwards Vipers with the 5th Gen HG"

Anybody know what "HG" stands for?

"Have Glass".

It's a special coating that reduces the radar cross-section of the aircraft.

I suppose I could do this one.

Another shot with the OT code this time.
Looks like Gunship grey with Have Glass, what do you think?

Hi guys
Has anyone repainted this aircraft yet? If not, I will. If it has been done, it would probably look better than I could do.
The gray's look different so getting it to look like the picture might be hard to do.
I like it.
Thanks
Roger M.
