For me It was sometimes difficult to figure out the flight attitude when the plane was far away and I decided to paint it like Tiger Meet, also I weather it a bit, I hope you like the results.
by the way I painted it with the benchcraft airbursh (https://www.motionrc.eu/products/ben...cc-bct5025-009) and did the job quite well,
great airbrush fot it's price.
And if you want to watch it flying over grass field:

Hi, I am owning a new grey USA Freewing F16 V2 70mm model. I want to convert it to a Dutch fighter jet. I have removed all decals with ice cubs without damage except for one on the main wing (top side). There is minor paint damage and I do not want to respray the complete wing. Can anybody tell me which paint (color) is an exact match. I have tried several sea grey paint but they were all too grey. If anyone has experience in touching up please let me know how you did this and which paint (colour) was used.

Thanks for support so far. The F-16 has 3 basic colors (dark sea gray and haze grey on top and light ghost grey under wings and fuselage. Official numbers FS36118 (dark grey), FS36270 (haze grey) and FS36375 (light Ghost grey). There are several sites but Vallejo has the best paint in my opinion. I will airbrush the affected areas.. There are also conversion tables on websites for Tamiya and other brands of paint. Paint must be matt

The afterburner kit I have is from 5280. Now I'm eager to tackle it and will try to get to it this weekend. I guess I was thinking a long hexdriver, but maybe that's not feasible. I'll let you know! I'm taking a long weekend next week to fly, so it would be nice to have the afterburner working by then.

Got the motion r.c. lightburner to fit after minor surgery. The 30mm dia adapter is about 29.5mm internal dia which struggled to fit over my 30mm dia fms motor so a Dremel was required to hone out the inner surface a bit. go get em wire pulled through the Lightburner leads. Foam cut outs re glued after fitting and testing. Had a couple of flights this morning, 11a.m uk time in rare full sunshine and lightburner was still visible.

I have an Nx10, my F16 has flaperons. I can upload it this evening, leaving for work right now. And or I can post my settings. It's fairly straightforward to setup. I'm pretty sure it's 80%, 70%, 60% on A/E rates with 35 % expo. Expo is subjective, some like more some like less. Rudder is probably 100% with 45% expo. I might have dialed up the ailerons. But I will post and send you my file this evening.
