  Here are the four models of the celebration of 75 years Royal Netherlands Air Force. Each F-16 Squadron (except 323 Squadron) brought a F-16 back into retro colours for a demonstration team. 306 Squadron decided to do a all silver F-16, in the colours of the old F-84E's with which this squadron flew in the early fifties. 311 squadron choose to honour the Royal Netherlands East Indies Airforce by doing a F-16 in the colours of a Brewster Buffalo during the 2nd world war (1942). 312 Squadron went back to the early days of aviation in the Netherlands by giving their F-16 the colours of a Fokker DVII from the early twenties. 322 squadron finaly did their F-16 in the famous colours of the Fokker DXXI from 1940, including the three white mice.

  The four planes gave a stunning demonstration during both days of the open house at Deelen airbase, after the open house all four were sent to Woensdrecht Airbase for a complete overhaul, including a repaint to their original colours. also a parahouse was added.

  The kits used for these for models are from Fujumi. Personaly I think this are some of the worst F-16 kits around, I have a few of them left, but I don't think I'm going to build them ever again. the decals came from several sources, the detail level isn't that high, but I had the idea and wanted to build them pretty quick to have them ready in time! The Overall look is very nice although.

  In Fact, there was only one F-16 in special colours during the celebration of 75 years Royal Dutch Airforce, there was also a Fokker F-27 Troopship and two NF-5A's in almost the same special scheme. those models will be build by me in the next couple of months and I hope I can put them online here around june, in time for the celebration of 95 Years of Royal Dutch Air Force!

  I hope you all like this little article about a Idea I had a few weeks ago!

  Cheers!
