Finally got this thing painted!
Tinted the canopy with some Tamiya "Smoke"...will see that later.
Did the usual black primer, mottled/highlights in white, then color.

I dunno about unusual...looks about like every typical F-16...I know the line from light to dark has has moved forward in past years...this one is being done prior to that change.

This is the scheme...which was only worn for a short period. The NATO "star" and shark mouth was done with white chalk....I'll have to fix the decals for those markings, as they are done in light grey.
