Hello guys, am Ricky and a scale modeler. I'm currently working on an 1/48th scale Tamiya F-16C Block 52Q. I planned it to be a "what-if" aircraft in Israeli Air Force Colors (IMHO, the only colorful F-16s in the world and effective in the desert environment http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item42902.html) but in US Air Force service in Iraq. This aircraft would belong to and piloted by a Wing Commander and that is Nina (the Wing Queen, male commanders are known as Wing Kings). Furthermore, a picture of Nina (without a microphone) would be displayed on the tail of the aircraft. It can be expected that my project will look like this except for the tail art http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item43349.html. In line with this, I need help. I need the following from you guys (especially William);  1. a picture of Nina without a microphone (decals made from it will be privately used and not be sold to any interested parties) 2. her favorite number that would be the numerical designator of her command "Soul Sirens". Any help will greatly be appreciated and be properly credited. Photos of the finished project will be posted in this site. I would surely enter this project in the upcoming Scale Model Competition on the last week of November at SM Megamall. This F-16C Block 52Q Commander's Aircraft is dedicated to the Soul Siren herself. |

initially, her "command" would have been limited to squadron level to achieve an all-S unit name, the "Soul Sirens Squadron". But it was enlarged to Wing level because she rightfully deserves it. |

This is how I intend to create Nina's tail art for my project. The picture selected would be edited and resized to make it look like it was painted on the aircraft's tail (at least 2 inches high). I'll print out in decal sheets in full color and brown outline. |

sure, it's my duty to post it. I do hope both Arvee and William will permit me to use any of their pictures as tail-art. If you have any of your own pics to endorse, please feel free to post it in this thread. The selected pic will be appropriately acknowledged by being the aircraft's DCC (Dedicated Crew Chief) whose name will be placed on the right side of the canopy bottom frame, while Nina is on the left. |

>finally...Nina's Tail Art...  >the camouflage of Nina's aircraft would be changed in pursuit of authenticity. From desert colors to the so-called Hill Grey scheme. Similar to this one  >since her tail art would be in full color, I was advised to paint my Nina's Viper with a special scheme for a special occassion...I selected a Tiger Meet of the Americas. >It's almost done...I'll just post the pics... |

the competition will be held on November 24 to 29, 2008, at the Atrium of SM Mega Mall. the pilot's head is molded plastic and it would be a herculean task to make it look like Nina coz it's smaller than my pinkynail. But I'll try, when I get a pilot figure with no helmet. Hope you guys can come there... |
