discussion Paint coloures for an F16 cockpit?

[Alan 45]

as the title asks does anyone know the colour in revell or humbrol for the cockpit


This is an old monogram kit and there are just no colour coats in the instructions just a look on the box explanation


So if anyone could help I'd be grateful

Sorry Alan can't help with the colours but we be watching with great interest as I have 3 f16s in my stash and will be doing one for anything that lands on a carrier build

I do have an arrester hook in this kit so I might do a little piece of a flight deck


I've had a look for the colours and seems any medium and dark grey will do

You will have to excuse me as I watched top gun again last night for the umpteenth time and I'm still excited brought back some great memories from 1986 as I took two different chicks to the same film was great pretending I was watching it for the 1st time Would like to know why yours as a hook Alan and to correct myself I have 3 f14s and 2 f16s

Hi,


I'm not an F-16 expert but FS36270 should be the correct one.


Earlier machines could have used FS36231.


Latest blocks could have a NATO black cockpit.


For the conversion this is what I found (just look the code, not the tint) ...

The F-16 is not equipped to operate from any aircraft carrier. The landing gear, and more particularly the airframe supporting it all, is not designed for the abuse of deck landings and takeoffs. The additional beefing up of the frame and gear would add a lot of weight, one more reason why most naval aircraft have more than one engine. The US Navy has operated the F-16 as an aggressor aircraft but these are land based. The tail hook is used for emergency landings and tethering the aircraft for high power engine testing.
