First time that have seen a sheet for the 1/144 F-16C is this very nice one from Balkan Models. It includes the markings for six different aircraft, all in different camouflage schemes. The only kit that I know of that is in this scale is the Dragon kit that has also been boxed by Revell. The decals are very nicely done by Print Carrier and if like other Balkan decals, will be quite thin and opaque.

Using the instruction sheet as a guide, the first is a US version from the 555th FS based at Aviano in 1999. This is the later two greys scheme.

From the Baharaini Air Force is one with the 1st FS in 2008. Probably one of the easier ones to paint.

A recent recipient of the F-16 is the Polish Air Force with this one from the 10th ELT, also in 2008.

From the Greek Air Force's 347 Mira, is this nicely done F-16C from 2004.

Wouldn't be an F-16 sheet without an Israeli Falcon and this one is from the 117th Squadron in 2003.

Finally, in the old three greys scheme is a Turkish Air Force aircraft from 152 Filo in 2006.

The instruction sheet is very well done and provides four views of each of the camouflage schemes to help you in painting your Micro F-16.

Highly recommended for the smallest scale builder.

Thanks to Balkan Models for the review sheet. Ask your local shop to get this one for you when it is available or visit the link.
