Here's some photos of my Tamiya 1/48 F-16C that I finished as Aggressor Squadron No.269 F-16C.

I improved upon the Tamiya kit using a resin nozzle, machine film is etched back using Woya sets.

The Aggressor Squadron F-16's have very attractive camo scheme and I finished mine with Gunze C310 for the Dark brown and Gunze C313 for the light brown.

Only Afterbuner Decals has markings for No. 269 F-16C (Afterburner AD48-008).

We all have our different preferences for weathering, I prefer without oil, a little more clean way of the old technology.  I left the wingtip missile rails off my F-16 to be added later in the build. 

This paint scheme was only used on two F-16's, which makes this a rather rare scheme to say the least.  The problem lies in trying to find enough photos of F-16C No. 269 to get the painting as accurate as possible.
