Lewis hang on a sec, I see an error on the paint sheet. I clipped the rear end off of the texture for the GE engine exhaust (turkey feathers).

Ok I just sent you the paint kit again with the fix. Should be good to go now.

Look for an email at 1700 eastern time.

Let me reach out to Han Min Cheol (Mins) to see if he wants to update his Osan paints for the Bk40 models. When he made them a few years back he made them for the Bk52 models which are not the right model but close enough. His textures can be made to work with the Bk40 model by just renaming them. Although the aircraft are painted slightly differently nowadays. But he has a nice set of dirty textures for these F-16s so might as well see if he wants to reuse them.

I got the paint kit from Kev when I did the SP birds if it's different then please send it on.
It's probably slightly different. I'll email you the most current one. It's different for different air forces.

Which version do you need, USAF or foreign air forces??
I got the USAF paint kit.

Should be in your inbox Ray.

@Lewis, fantastic let me know if you need any help.

Talked to Mins, sounds like he's going to do Osan and Kunsan so there's two less bases to do.

I like the anthousiasm in this topic.

It sound like a future great package of FS9 F-16's.

Thanks in advance for that to all modellers and painters.

Chile Block 50+ C/D models already released and here is a link to download them for FS2004: https://militaryaiworks.com/download-ha ... chile-maiw

We'll do as many as our free time allows. No promises.

Meanwhile, I've never done this loadout on one yet, Sea Viper!

EDIT: Upon further research it appears that the USAF never adopted the Harpoon missle for their F-16s, only Turkey, Bahrain and a few other foreign operators use them on their F-16s.

@Lewis
@Ray
@Han (mins)

New version of the paint kit emailed to each of you. Fixes two issues I just noticed. My apologies for that.

@Lewis, the version I sent you now has both 555th and 510th fin flashes on it and can be used to do both units. This top image I believe is their new fin flash or it may be a commander's bird, I'm not sure yet. Either way, it may not be possible to do this detailed work on a 1024x1024 texture.

If anyone is reading this that want's to give this fin flash a go, it would be greatly appreciated, I think it exceeds my skill level.
