E-FLITE F-16 FALCON 80MM RE-PAINT

[@flymachine]

I’m sure you saw the recent full size late model F-16 that was painted in this scheme to celebrate its years of service - perfect timing. I’m going to work on my airliner foamie bash today with inspiration from you - let’s hope I finish it. Amazing how the red shows how oversize the wings are on the E-Flite bird. Beautiful work as always

Great job Brent. Great results. The decals really set off the new paint. Lookin forward to your vids these days.

That looks brilliant bro. I had no idea when you sent me the pics that was a one day job...pretty amazing! Looks like the new retro Viper demo team plane.

Thanks! Turned out great for 0 prep work :) I didnt even start till like 330. Had to fix the bearcat first lolol

[@robsrc2018]

Amazing what a little paint and patience can do to dress up these birds. Beautiful job Brent.

I was curious about the weight as well. Perhaps later you can let us know if there seems to be much of a difference in overall weight and if the CG was affected. It sure looks marvelous, and I'll bet it will have a great presence flying !

[@jollyroger2226]

Lookin Sharp !

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Not sure if you noticed but they just painted a real F-16 USAF Viper Demo Team in those colors

[@hechtspeed]

@@Mikeylikesit1968 yep. Pretty cool :)

[@looneytunes47]

Super fantastic paint scheme did you get the decals from callie graphics?

[@hechtspeed]

@@looneytunes47 yessir!

[@koko-wt1ub]

Great work! Does painting over servo arms/ ball links/ control arms and hinges impact their operation at all? I have a foamie I want to repaint but sticking/jamming of those items concerns me thx

[@hechtspeed]

@@koko-wt1ub no..so long as you dont get a bunch of paint on them. I left some off because the model wasnt assembled yet. But a couple stayed on. No biggie

[@txkflier]

Yeah, that should be much easier to see. Did you weigh it before and after?

[@hechtspeed]

@@txkflier i did not. Should have. Ill get a complete weight and compare that to my other one

[@johnkelley4874]

Fast drying paint ! Rattle can or airbrush? Acrylic? Nice work! Looks great 👍

[@hechtspeed]

@@johnkelley4874 rattle can. Just rustoleum. And yeah...it wasnt really fully dry between steps. I have very little patience hahahaha

@@johnkelley4874 Who didn’t watch the video?
