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.

Good choice of markings!
