Yes, Sidewinders are from the 90mm F-16.
Bought a 3D printer, just so I can have a set of those way bitchin hub caps! Gotta figure it all out.
I'm going to weather this one. It will be my first attempt.

just remember to stay away from black becuse it sticks out
like a sore thumb. I use a pencil to do the panal lines then shoot it with light coats of gray and the do a molting coat then a salt coat and the cover her with a clear coat. Here is a great link to read

Here is my Blue Angels bird all glossed up. Just waiting on the afterburner mod to arrive and still need to paint the landing gear and inside of gear doors white. As I put this together and out in the decals, I am really blown away at the scale of this beautiful jet.

Looks great Ken! What did you use to clear coat it? Spray or brush? How many coats?

[Elbee]

RCJD, Your modesty is noted, though your awards and kudos would suggest you are "that good". I like what you do, a bit of attitude combined with skills equals success IMO. I enjoy seeing what you do next. Works for me. Happy Independence Day to you and yours. Best, LB

[Aros]

Wow Ken, LOVE the quality of the gloss you put on yours, looks the part! What did you use?

Wow an airspeed of 140 is nuts. I bet with a nice tailwind you could see 160 over the ground.

[Evan D]

Paint codes from Lowes, perfect match even in the sun. A little difference in sheen on mine but it was clear coated.

[Evan D]

Ha! With a nice tail wind of 60mph I'm over 200!! :)
