Here is an F-16 C Block 50 of  192. Filo (Sqd) Kaplan (Tiger) from 9th AFB, Turkish Air Force from  "Tiger Meet 2005" ...  

Everybody knows how the Tamiya kit is, so I won't tell many words about it. I did not use any aftermarket parts, model is out of the box except decals and bird slicers. Some decals came from Zotz decals sheets, and many of the  little stencils came from Hobby Decal dry transfers, they are perfect!  Tiger on the tail and the letterings designed by me according to actual photos with Photoshop and Corel Draw and home-printed by a Color Laser printer. White pilot name was printed with an ALPS printer by Kaan Gök ( thanks again :) )

The model was painted with Humbrol enamels via Aztek 470 metal body airbrush. I've used many pre and post shading methods and weathered with pastels and washed with thinned Tamiya acrylics.

Exhaust area was painted with custom mixed Metalizers and darker areas were masked with Parafilm and also painted with darker shades.
