This is the 1/48 Hasegawa F-16 kit built as a What If RAAF F-16CG Block 40. The paint scheme was inspired by a post in the What If Models thread by Trigger. The decals were leftovers from the AMT F-18 kit.

I scratchbuilt the pitot tube and the scab plates.  The scab plates were made using aluminum tape based off stencils provided by Daniel Perez Vertti.  The intake pods and GBU-16s were from the Hasegawa weapons set.  The rest of the load out was OOB.

For the camo scheme, I used Krylon River Rock and Camo Green for the topside, and Krylon Pewter Gray for the underside.  The main canopy section was tinted using a mix of Tamiya Smoke and Yellow.  The panel lines were highlighted using Flory Models Dark Dirt wash.

Hope you enjoyed this What If F-16.
