Paint & Hobby Tips
Use standard F-16 schemes such as the USAF two-tone gray (FS 36118 and FS 36270) or European One camouflage depending on markings. Highlight cockpit frames and exhaust with metallic accents for realism, and consider light weathering for a worn-in, operational look.

Historical Context Sidebar
The F-16B is the two-seat version of the F-16A and was developed to provide advanced flight training for new pilots while retaining full operational capabilities. The “Plus” variant includes avionics and airframe upgrades, bringing it closer to later F-16C/D standards. Used by NATO and allied nations, the F-16B Plus has been a cornerstone of multirole air operations from the late Cold War to the present day.
