Desert Rose
Royal Moroccan Air Force F-16C Block 52+
- Scale:
- 1:48
- Status:
- On hold
- Started:
- April 27, 2017
After seeing the RMAF F-16Cs in their unique pristine desert camouflage scheme during roll out and during their first flights I just had to capture their beautiful appearance in a modeling project! I will just park the aircraft on a plain concrete platform just to accentuate the sleek lines and brand new paint job. The most difficult part will be to restrain from weathering without getting the model to look toy-like.

Erik LeijdensI always wondered who took the decision to place the Moroccan roundel on the tailbase.. Quite a unique spot I must say

Stephan RyllSomeone had the right sticker on hand😉 - a common task during the a last day of an air meeting maybe 😄

Patrick HagelsteinHi Stephan and Holger! Indeed that roundel just barely fits the tailfin base. Weird!

Patrick HagelsteinHolger, even if the postman makes it in time I'm affraid I can just make a start with this project but won't be able to finish it before I leave for a three year posting to Oklahoma this summer. This will be one of a selected group of projects I will be shipping along. Never mind as Scalemates is international you all can follow it's progress eventualy. 🙂
