I have a new series of F-16 sheets in mind. There has not been a comprehensive, international F-16 sheet for a while. I basically would like to continue where Zotz' excellent "Vivacious Vipers" series left off. The overall concept will be very similar, but I want to put the emphasis on later blocks (Block 50+ and above) and new users; as opposed to the legacy schemes that have been done over and over again. Singapore, Morocco, Poland etc. would be good candidates.
If you have any suggestions, I would be very interested in hearing them. I have already drawn basic artwork for some of these, but I am open to references, subject suggestions etc. This could be a multi-sheet series if successful!

I'm guessing that the Pakistani AF stuff will be done separately?

Poland has been done extensively ( though they are a nice camo pattern). How about Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Iraq, Portugal and Thailand.

I belive they are A models but would you consider Venuzuelan birds? Just plain old line birds, I know Aztec did some with the special tails but they don't really appeal to me that much. But I do love any viper wearing something other than the standard grey/grey scheme.

No change in my plans for PAF F-16s: there still will be a separate PAF F-16 sheet in Global Air Power Series. I will most likely reuse the F-16C/D Block 52+ markings from that PAF sheet in my Viper series, though.

I really like the Venezuelan and Indonesian schemes; but I think I will do the recent models first. Singapore,Turkey,Pakistan,Morocco will definitely be there. I now see that Poland and Israel have been covered fairly well by others. I will also do some research and check if there are any recent, interesting unit markings on Greek Vipers as well. For the next sheet, early versions are definitely a possibility.

We definitely need some Thailand F-16 decals. I vote for the Prince's personal aircraft. I don't have a lot of info on this aircraft but it is one of the better camo schemes I have seen. I think the aircraft was lost due to a hard landing. Hoping someone out there has more info on this scheme so we can get some decals for it. :pray:

Hoi there, Bahrein new scheme with the falcon, Omani blk 50C' and D's, Egypt AF Blk 40 or 15, Jordan & Chile MLU's, and Morocco Viper, cool scheme.

I'm working now on my 14th Viper for my own GB, since most AF have at least one or two versions, Would love to have more options.

Cheers.

Hi there KursadA!

I would love to see the Moroccan, Omani, late model Pakistani and Egyptian jets along with updated Bahraini(RBAF) markings.
Any chance for an upscale to 1/32nd? :D :D :D

Regards,
Anthony

I'm in agreement with many of the others. 1/72 F-16s for Bahrain(RBAF-updated)Oman,Indonesia blk32s, Morocco,Iraq, and Arabic countries in general would be great additions to needed decal markings

You are on the right track. No one has kept up with the FMS Vipers, especially in the Middle East. Everyone has a good list started. The Morrocan jets are way cool.
