Waiting for polish f-16`s Advanced Block 52 delivery I have designed few markings proposal for 3 ELT (Eskadra Lotnictwa Taktycznego - Tactical Aviation Squadron).


The mark for 3elt is black raven.

Concepts based on photo of the USAFE F-16 block 50 AV base, Italy.

Do you know who design all markings for export F-16's , and where planes are geting national markings?

The countries themselves pick the markings according to their standards, and most of them are applied here in the US.

Houston,

Would it be possible to provide us the Polish F-16 swirl. You have it posted on the site. The best way to do that is to upload it in the patches gallery.

Greets,

I wish I can , but it is only a photoshop montage (low-rez) based on other nation`s swril.
Otherway, I could try to find out the owner (it is not me) of this photo:

http://www.3elt.com/upload/cinek12.jpg

It was taken on Arishow, Radom, Poland, 2002, and I think I was only limited edition for marketing use during LM campaign.

Not to nit-pick, but that must be a Block 50 Viper, as it has a GE engine/nozzle.....

Cool concept, would be even cooler if it had those neat black, carbon fiber turkey feathers!

sorry guys, that looks pretty much a PW nozzle to me in the drawing. In any case, the Poland is having the Block 52+.

cheers, Smile

[EDIT] My apologies, didn't realize the comment was meant for the photo, not the drawing. Embarassed

Look again, The external nozzle segments "Turkey Feather" on a GE are metal and curved. On a PW-229 they are carbon-fiber and straight.

Note the photos.

If the Block ends with a 0 it is a GE, a 2 is PW, the "plus" just means extra bells and wistles installed but not enough to be a block 62, which has entirely new subsystems.
