Absolutely great colors Cherrylock!

Then; J works masks... That was totally a new thing for me, so I visited their web-pages. Super cool!
My "local" 100km far away hobby store is also selling them, but without your post, I would have not known about them (nor thought about such products)

Was it easy to use the masks ?

good to help other modelers.

the masks work good, lasercut, and like tamiya tape but sice like a A4 paper.worked good, was the first time I used, but for this cuted markings it is easyer to use a7Euro mask with the correct camo, than masking tape.

and thanks for your words, will take this one to Mol

The history of the149th FS, 192nd FW of the VA ANG can be traced back to the 352nd FG, also known as the "Bluenosed Bastards of Bodney". This colorful, blue nosed F-16C was painted to honor the last reunion of that group. It is dedicated to the memory of George Preddy, 352nd FG pilot and The Top Mustang Ace of WW II.
The kit is from Academy, updated to Block 30 with Radar warn antenna, changed nozzle and twobobs decals. The special marked F-16 was new painted and has only limited minimum warnimg markings

That is freakin' cool! I was gonna do a "what if" scheme of the Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney but never knew they did one in honor of Preddy. How did you find out about it in the F-16 scheme?

You know Cherrylock, I've been in contact in the past with a representative of the real Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney group searching for a particular fellow airman of that group. I wonder if they knew there was an actual F-16 commemorative Blue Nosed Falcon.
